jQuery is not finding elements

Question

jQuery is not finding any elements. alert($(\"#testbutton\").length); displays 0 every time.

Am I doing something wrong?

My JS / jQuery cod

Answer 1

When your code runs the DOM is not ready so the element doesn't exist. Did you mean to do this instead (passing a function to jQuery is a shortcut for $(document).ready(fn)):

$(function () {
    alert($("#testbutton").length);
});
