jQuery not working - strange

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    alert('works');
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(window).load(function () {
        alert('does not work');
    });
    ​
</script>

Very strange, I'm not sure why it isn't working.

I think the function should be .ready() and not .load() (this sends an AJAX request): 

$(window).ready(function () {

Also make sure you understand the distinction between $(document).ready and $(window).ready. The first will be triggered when the DOM is ready while the second when the DOM and all images are ready.

youe are doing window.load which waits for every thing to get loaded before executing. however you should use DOM ready function of jQuery.

jQuery(function(){
    //do something
});

Two options for what you're trying to achieve:

  1. $(function() { alert('works'); });

  2. $(document).ready(function() { alert('works'); });

It's up to you which one you use. Personally I prefer the shorthand code in option 1 but there's a readability advantage with the second option.

It should work after all images, css and scripts are loaded. Is there something that is taking too long to load?

Are you looking for this:

$(function() {
    alert("does work");
});
