jQuery error: missing ( before formal parameters

Question

I have this jQuery script:

<script type="text/javascript">

  $(document).ready(function{
    $("#btnLogon").bind("click", function(){
      $("#btnLogon").after('<span class="error">Please wait...</span>');
    });
  });

</script>

In Firebug I get the error message

missing ( before formal parameters

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function{

should be

$(document).ready(function(){

Answer 2

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#btnLogon").bind("click", function(){
        $("#btnLogon").after('<span class="error">Please wait...</span>');
    });
});
</script>

You were missing the parentheses after function, on the second line.
