I know that this is the basic format for a function.

function functionName() {

}

Then you'll have a button to call it out.

But i'm reading about Creating new HTML Elements and in the explample, why is the function set ou tlike this.

$(function()
{
$("<p>Test</p>")
.insertAfter("#first");
});

Just wondering, what is with the $function() could someone please explain, thanks.
