# jQuery ready() Method

jQuery Event Methods

## Example

Use ready() to make a function available after the document is loaded:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").slideToggle();
});
});
Try it yourself »

## Definition and Usage

The ready event occurs when the DOM (document object model) has been loaded.

Because this event occurs after the document is ready, it is a good place to have all other jQuery events and functions. Like in the example above.

The ready() method specifies what happens when a ready event occurs.

Tip: The ready() method should not be used together with <body onload="">.

## Syntax

Two syntaxes can be used:

$(document).ready(function)

The ready() method can only be used on the current document, so no selector is required:

$(function)

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
function | Required. Specifies the function to run after the document is loaded
