ohoh so even if you do that your myevents.js still doesnt get loaded when document.ready is run? thats weird. I have never run in to problem like that. just wondering is your tag <script type="text/javascript" src="myevents.js">? or <script type="text/javascript" src="myevents.js"></script>?
because script is not self closing and not sure if its just your sample so you omitted as well.
