drupal 7 - drupal_add_js - inline doesn't execute

Question

I made a custom module and I added the following code inside the php tag and also in my hook_menu function

drupal_add_js('jQuery(document).ready(function () { alert("Hello!"); });', 'inline');

I can't figure out why it's not firing.

When I look at the 'view source' of the page I do see this:

<script type="text/javascript"> <![CDATA[//><!]]> </script>

You just added it right inside of the <?php tag? Best practice would be to wrap it in a mymodule_init(){ ... } function. — Chance G, Jun 13 '12 at 22:07
Ok, just added it to my mymodule_init()....But still nothing..:( — airnet, Jun 14 '12 at 5:34

Go through this document http://drupal.org/node/171213 It shows how to use Jquery. The syntax for jquery ready function is:

jquery(document).ready(function($) {
// Code that uses jQuery's $ can follow here.
});

it's quite annoying to always having to clear cache :( – airnet Jun 15 '12 at 3:20

You need to clear cache every time when you make changes :) – Dharmender Jun 15 '12 at 7:12
