title: jQuery document.ready vs pageLoad
body: <p>I've picked up an existing project from another developer and ive noticed in the code that they are executing js code within three different event handlers...</p>
  
  <pre><code>function pageLoad() {
  //execute code
  }
  
  $(document).ready(function() {
  //execute code
  });
  
  $(function() {
  //execute code
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is - arent they all exactly the same? Or at least the last two? I understand that pageLoad is called by the .NET framework so it's not dependent on the jQuery library having loaded like the second two are - that's my understanding anyway - is that about correct?</p>
