I'm using jQuery at WordPress (@the HOME page) and the ready function doesn't work for me. I have a index.php which is including (php) a header, footer and a sidebar. I tested this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="path_to_jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert ("test text");
});
</script>
The alert (with the text "test text"
) is just not popping up immediately! It's only popping up after my sidebar has been loaded. This means while I'm seeing the index page (sidebar is not loaded yet) I have to wait a few seconds until the sidebar has finished loading, and only then the jQuery code is executed: the alert is popping up. So the ready function just wont work.
Can anybody tell me why and how I can solve this problem? Thanks.
