jQuery ready() in asp.net mvc2 only fires on first visit

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
     alert("Hello jQuery.开发者_Python百科");
});
</script>

This works the first time I request /Home/Index, but if I navigate to eg /Account/Login then back to /Home/Index it doesn't work. Doing the same thing using a webforms project works every time. What am I missing? Thanks.

this is not the answer. try this:

<div id="test-ready"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
        $("#test-ready").append("<span>pre ready</span><br />");
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#test-ready").append("<span>in ready (hello jQuery)</span><br />");
            //alert("Hello jQuery.");
        });
        $("#test-ready").append("<span>pos ready</span><br />");
</script>

Try this instead:

$(function() {
    alert("Hello jQuery.");
});

Maybe it will give you less trouble.

Thanks for the replies. The answer, and a question: The relative reference to the .js files was OK for http: //localhost:12345/ but not http: //localhost:12345/Home/Index - effectively they're the same resource, but not internally for mvc, despite the fact the mvc "paths" are logical not physical - so why does mvc make .js references relative to a logical path?
