Failing to run the document ready functions is a bug in jQuery 1.3.2 that is fixed in the current svn. It now calls document.ready listeners even if you load jQuery and subsequent document ready functions dynamically.
At least I *assume* that it's a bug that was fixed, and not just an accidental improvement! :-) Try your code with the nightly you can get here: http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#Nightly_Builds Regarding the onload for the script, the best way to handle this is to make a custom copy of jquery.js or jquery.min.js and add a line to the end: window.jQueryLoaded && jQueryLoaded(); Then you provide a global jQueryLoaded() function before loading jQuery, and that has your other initialization code (using document ready if you want with the new jQuery code). Or you can add whatever initialization code you want at the end of your jquery.js file. -Mike p.s.
