in my own opinion $("#test").ready means that you check that #test is loaded in dom or not. the point @ZeSimon have that if document load then it's sure that #test is included in dom. but sometime content come from ajax request then it's not loaded in dom and not work if you call click event on them.

the length > 0 can be used to check that #test is exist instead of used ready on them because no-sense their to check using ready event.

if your #test come from ajax request then you have some option

  1. bind the click event on them

  2. use live('click') to attach a event for content [who maybe come through ajax request]

Yes, you can, but it will fire at the same time as $(document).ready() anyway, so what would be the point?

Quoting .ready()'s documentation's page :

The .ready() method can only be called on a jQuery object matching the current document


The selector can be omitted, but it won't change a thing : it'll still work on the document.
