Jquery $(function(){}), what does it mean?

Question

In Jquery, I understand that

$()

is there to select an element and when you do something like

$(".foo").click(function(){})

will execute function when foo class is clicked..

but when you do,

$(function(){})

does this mean you are selecting a function? it doesn't seem right to me..

it's just a shortcut for

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

which will be called when the DOM ready event fires

See the documentation for .ready
