simple rjs rails question

Question

Here is a extremely simple web page:

test.html.erb:

<div id="test_div">
Testing 1 2 3
</div>

test.rjs:

    page.visual_effect :highlight, "test_div"

Basically, I want my "test_div" to be highlighted when the webpage loads. But for some reason, the div doesn't highlight when I load the webpage.

Does anyone know what's going on?

if you want javascript to execute at load time you have to put it in the header. http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=428814
