7No difference. First one is just a shortcut for the `ready` method. – elclanrs Sep 21 '12 at 04:59

That is what I figured but wanted to be sure, thanks. (Post that as an answer if you can.) – L84 Sep 21 '12 at 05:00

3Seriously, this can be answered in 2 seconds by [looking at the api](http://api.jquery.com/ready) – zzzzBov Sep 21 '12 at 05:03

.ready is a handler function for use once the DOM is ready
The .ready() method is generally incompatible with the attribute.
I would use $(function() {}); normally.
$(document).ready(function(){}); is typically used for anonymous functions
All three of the following syntaxes are equivalent:
$(document).ready(handler)
$().ready(handler) (this is not recommended)
$(handler)

3`The .ready() method is generally incompatible with the attribute.` What exactly does this mean? – Anirudh Ramanathan Sep 21 '12 at 05:05

looks like they took that text directly from the [jQuery documentation](https://api.jquery.com/ready/), where the full sentence reads "The `.ready()` method is generally incompatible with the `` attribute." The following text, outlining the three ways of wiring up a DOM ready handler, is also from the documentation. – Paul d'Aoust Jun 02 '15 at 23:25
