Answer 1

$(document).ready()

• Ideal for one time initialization.

• Optimization black magic; may run slightly earlier than pageLoad().

• Does not re-attach functionality to elements affected by partial postbacks.

pageLoad()

• Unsuitable for one time initialization if used with UpdatePanels.

• Slightly less optimized in some browsers, but consistent.

• Perfect for re-attaching functionality to elements within UpdatePanels.
