Below is the shorthand for $(document).ready()
$(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
If you receive an error in console Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function
, noConflict() is probably enabled. Try this instead.
jQuery(function() {
console.log( "ready!" );
});
Many JavaScript libraries use $
as a function or variable name, just as jQuery does. In jQuery’s case, $
is just an alias for jQuery
, so all functionality is available without using $
. If you need to use another JavaScript library alongside jQuery, return control of $
back to the other library with a call to $.noConflict()
. Old references of $
are saved during jQuery initialization; noConflict()
simply restores them.
