Can't get Countdown to work

See original GitHub issue

This simple tryout doesn’t do anything on Firefox 32.0.3, no console messages, nothing. Any ideas what might be wrong? I verified that all the components load properly and that the code actually executes. The same behaviour in IE 8. jQuery is 1.11.1.

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>
  <title>Test</title>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/nh/js/jquery.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/nh/js/jquery.countdown.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/nh/js/cdown.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $("div#clock").countdown("2014/10/29");
  </script>
</head>

<body>
<p>Countdown:</p>

<div id="clock"></div>

</body>

</html>

Hey bro, look at this fiddle, the only difference is that I execute the code at DOMready.

Your problem is that you’re trying to execute the countdown when the <div /> wasn’t created, you have three options, bind to execute the script to dom ready event, bind to load event or move the <script> tag to the end of your <body>.

Yeah, wrapping the code in $(document).ready() makes it work. Thank you very much for help!
