In Javascript, what does $(document) mean?

I can't search it on a search engine because they won't read the special characters

Update:

I had thought of that, Mr. AnalProgrammer. Still didn't work. $() is apparently a call to jquery

    "$(document)"

    including the quotes.

    $ is either the name of the function or object being initialized and it's being passed the "document" object as an argument. It is most likely jQuery which is a very commonly used library on the web. $(document).ready() is used in this class to run a script once a page has been loaded.

    It is just jQuery function that returns DOM wrapped to JQ object.
