Is $(document).ready necessary?

Question

I saw this question in stackoverflow but do not feel that it was answered at all.

Is $(document).ready necessary?

I link all my javascripts at t

Answer 1

No, if your javascript is the last thing before close you won't need to add those tags.

As a side note, a shorthand for $(document).ready is the code below.

$(function() {
// do something on document ready
});

This question might be good. Did you read it? jQuery: Why use document.ready if external JS at bottom of page?
