jQuery $(document).ready () fires twice

Question

I\'ve been sifting around the web trying to find out whats going on here and I have not been able to get a concrete answer.

I have one $(document).ready

Answer 1

I had this happen to me this morning... and what I discovered after closely examining some html code in a jquery modal form that I had recently manipulated, that I'd accidentally removed a closing table tag. I haven't taken the time yet to fully understand why that caused the document.ready function to be called twice, but it did. Adding the closing table tag fixed this issue.
