Rob,
Point taken about using onLoad for a script tag possibly not being
supported. In this case however that part of the code is working fine.
The issue I am having is related to jQuery being added to a page after
the page has completed loading. When this happens ready listeners are
never executed. If jQuery is present when the page loads then ready
listeners are executed as expected.
