Alternative position of script that needs to come after specific HTML element?

Sorry I couldn't articulate my question accurately.

I have a jQuery script that needs to be placed below the HTML element it is applied to and not in the head. IE 6 and IE 7 are generating operation aborted message since the script is not a directly child of Body tag. This seems to be a well known bug on IE.

I do not have the privilege to keep the script tag as a direct child of Body tag. Either it should be inside

tag or it should be in the head. If I have it in the head, it obviously doesn't trigger since it should be below the HTML element it is applied to.

What are my options in this case?

Thanks!

You can write the code within head...Just need to write it inside the document ready block, so that it gets executed only after your DOM is ready..

$(document).ready(function(){.....your code......}

Hope that helps. Thank you.

Put it in the head, and move your code inside a document.ready handler, like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    // your code here
});

This way, your code will only run after the full HTML has been parsed.
