jqueryHow do I use the jQuery ready function?


The jQuery ready() function is used to execute code when the DOM is fully loaded. This is useful when you want to make sure that all elements on the page are available before running your script.

$(document).ready(function(){
  alert("The page is ready!");
});

Output example

Alert message: The page is ready!

The code above will execute the alert() function when the DOM is ready.

Here's a breakdown of the code:

  • $(document): This is a jQuery selector that selects the document object.
  • .ready(): This is a jQuery method that is used to execute code when the DOM is ready.
  • function(){: This is an anonymous function that contains the code to be executed when the DOM is ready.
  • alert("The page is ready!");: This is the code that will be executed when the DOM is ready.
  • });: This is the closing brace for the anonymous function.
