//-----some code-----

}());

and:

(function($){

//-----some code-----

})(jQuery);

Thanks!

The second is called no-conflict mode. This means if other frameworks are using the $ sign to mean something else other then the jQuery object, it will not conflict with it. The reason for this is because you are specifying that the $ that you mean is the jQuery that you pass into the function call!

Remember, a Javascript function can be run immediately like this.

(function(){

})();

So popping in the last pair of brackets [the function call] the jQuery puts the jQuery object in the function that runs immediately.
