Self invoking functions javascript

Question

I wrote a self invoking function in both firefox and chrome it it wouldn\'t invoke.

I wrote something to the effect of

(function () { alert(\"THE\")

This function definitely works. I would check your browser's console for any js errors in your page. Perhaps you could try to put a simple console.log function at the beginning of your script to see if any JavaScript is being called in the first place.
