According to the documentation, the body of your ready function will
execute when the DOM has loaded and is ready to traverse. The last two
scripts manipulate the DOM, so I would put the ready function
afterward so I could be more confident in the results.
This is a good area for experimentation. Try creating a simple
function that toggles, say, a text style. Call your toggle function
from inside a ready function and also put a copy in a <script src ... /
> file, then move them around, changing the order of the <script
src ... /> and the $(document).ready(). You might be able to learn
something by doing that which you could share with us and get a deeper
understanding of execution order with jQuery.
