Why does my code in a script element not run?

Question

I have the following script in my smarty template:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js">
    $(document).ready(myBookings);
</script>

However it doesn't work on page load. $(document).ready(myBookings); does work when I run it in Mozilla firebug console though. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

script elements can have a src attribute or content, but not both. If they have both, the content is ignored (the content is considered "script documentation," not code).

Use another script block for your document-ready handler

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js">
</script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(myBookings);
</script>
