Sometimes I end up with a lot of code in the $("document").ready() function which usually sits inside the .html file. 

 $("document").ready(function() {
    // The DOM is ready!
    // Let the DOM manipulation begin!
 });

What are the best practices for locating the $("document").ready(). Should it be in a different .js file and included in the HTML using:

<script src="MyDocReadyJS.js"></script>

  • Usually the HTMLs are long and adding a `$('document').ready()` to this with lines of javascript make the overall code very cluttered. Looking for a cleaner way of doing this. – dr_rk May 26 '16 at 15:24

The best practice is to put the code before you close </body> tag.
In this case you can get rid of "document ready" wrapper because the DOM will be already ready :)
