[jQuery] Else If statements - why isn't this working?

[zarino]

This'll probably seem obvious to anyone with more jQuery knowledge
than myself...

I'm using the below code to show/hide specific divs according to which
day it is. However, for some reason it isn't working. I've tried my
best to find doumentation on how to write If/Else statements for
jQuery but it's pretty thin on the ground... I've probably just missed
something out. But, any ideas why none of the actions take place?

$('body.schedule').ready(
        function(){
                var today = new Date().getDay();
                if (today == "2") {
                        $("div.monday").hide();
                } else if (today == "3") {
                        $("div.monday").hide().next().hide();
                } else if (today == "4") {
                        $("div.monday").hide().next().hide().next().hide();
                } else if (today == "5") {
                        
$("div.monday").hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
                } else if (today == "6") {
                        $
("div.monday").hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
                } else if (today == "7") {
                        $
("div.monday").hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide().next().hide();
                }

        }
);

Thanks in advance,
