Enfernikus is on a distinguished road

Code:

$(function(){
});

Is short hand for

Code:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
});

What the ready method does, succinctly, is use cross-browse compatible methods to ensure that the element you've specified has been loaded fully and is in a "ready" state to be manipulate. We choose to the document element because it represents the whole of the page we're working with.
