jquery length of text()

What's wrong with the below?

<html>
  <body>
    <div id='test'>28</div>  
  </body>
</html>

<script>
$(document).ready(function (){
  if ($('#test').text().length() > 0) // error here?
   alert("test");
});

I get a JavaScript error in I.E 6 saying function expected on the line marked error.

Length in javascript is not a function. its a property so instead of length() use length

Many things are wrong:

You didn't include jQuery in your page and you try to use functions from it
You didn't close your script tag
Your div is completely broken
You don't have a DOCTYPE
Your document doesn't have a head :-)
Your script is outside of the html
length is a property not a function
