jquery - $(document).ready not Working

Question

I am trying to run jQuery and WebMethods with ASP.NET; I have added a ScriptManager to the master page, and a content on the content page

<asp:Content ID="ch" ContentPlaceHolderID="cHead" runat="server">
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function () {
          alert("hi");
       });
    </script>
</asp:Content>

However this never fires, what am I missing?

Answer 1

Verify the following steps.

1. Did you include jquery
2. Check for errors in firebug

Those things should fix the problem
