jQuery provides and easy way to run code only when the DOM is fully loaded and ready:
$( document ).ready(function() {
// do stuff
});
Shorthand
You can also use this shorthand:
$(function() {
// do stuff
});
Wait for the entire page
Use window instead of document to wait until the entire page is ready:
$( window ).load(function() {
// do stuff
});
