document loading events ready through error!

[awakeel]

document loading events ready

like

$(

alert('test');

)

or

$.ready( alert('test');)

Through error, when i remove semi colon then its work fine. is it bug or user mistake. correct me if i am wrong?

This is a user mistake. You have to pass a function reference to $(document).ready(), you are *executing* a window alert and passing its return value (nothing) to document ready as a handler. The correct syntax would be

$(function() {
 alert("test");
});

[awakeel]

All three of the following syntaxes are equivalent:

$(document).ready(handler) $().ready(handler) (this is not recommended) $(handler)

The three format is supported so i am using the last one. did you checked that.

A function reference is not the same as executing a function.  http://fixingthesejquery.com/#slide32
