The selectors in the first paragraph ‘Selectors based on attributes’ seem to be missing??

@Evan Byrne. Well, I think it is, that’s the point of comments, isn’t it? Thanks for reading!

@James, it’s not worth arguing over this… Yeah I know I’m not one to talk, but still…

@James Padolsey. We need the document-ready event only when we work with other events, and even in those cases, there are other techniques.

Besides of that I haven’t said we have to use it every time we code something in jQuery, but if I haven’t said where to put the code I’ve written, the best way to make sure the DOM is ready is to use the Document-ready event, in that way people can put the code wherever they want.

There isn’t an example with HTML and jQuery code together in this tutorial, if there were one, you could see the jQuery at the bottom without the document-ready event.

Thanks for the contribution.

@Jose, yes, I know Karl. I actually wrote on his site (learningjquery.com) not so long ago. If you contacted Karl I’m quite confident that he would agree with me on the fact that document-ready isn’t necessary all the time — and that’s it’s faster to use alternative techniques (such as the one I outlined in my initial comment). I’m grateful that you “respect” my opinion, but most of what I’ve written isn’t opinion, but fact. Please do your research.

Thanks for the article

@others who are criticising : if you don’t like the article, just leave it. It depends on the developer to use his own set of code-handling style. Its their own personal opinion. Why can’t you emphasize on writing your own blog with more ‘pro-developer’ knowledge of yours. Never criticise people who are willing and taking steps to contribute instead of sitting idle for their own sake with their much earned knowledge.

Jose, your effort in this age is really appreciated. Keep it up!

@James Padolsey. The document-ready event has a lot of advantages and is a good practice. If you don’t trust me (obviously you don’t ), please, trust Karl Swedberg. (here).

If you want an event to work on your page, you should call it inside the $(document).ready() function

He’s on the jQuery project team and has written some books about jQuery.

I respect your opinion and appreciate your comments.

I try to do my best and keep learning. Thank you!
