run jQuery when HTML is loaded

Question

jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){

var url='http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from html where url=\'http://stackoverflow.com/\' and xpath=\'//div[@id="question-mini-list"]//h3//a                       \'&format=json&callback=?';

    $.getJSON( url, function(data){
        $.each(data.query.results.a, function(){       
            $('#stack').append('<div><a href="http://stackoverflow.com'+this.href +'">'+this.content+'</a></div>')          
        })
    })
});

HTML

<section id="stack">

</section>

The jQuery code is borrowed from an earlier post (Thanks!), but my question is: Shouldn't the jQuery code run when the page loads, the way it's displayed here? Im using coda 2. The jQuery is saved as .js-file, and the html is saved as .html. Both files are located in the same directory.

Thanks for any and all help!

@Nilzone The problem was to do with your script placement (which you should have shown instead of making people guess) not coda 2 — dsgriffin

@Zenith You're right. I should have added the all my HTML-instead of parts. — Nilzone-

Make sure you define a link to your javascript file in the <head> of your index.html page.

<script rel="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="path/to/javascript.js"></script>
