 * Any reason why a function hard-coded into admin-header.php would not work? Even
   the simplest dialog box call will not work.
    All scripts and html show up fine
   when viewing source, so everything is showing up as it should.
 * What am I missing?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Sorry for the waste of space, but it’s working now…
    All I did was switch
 * `$(function() {`
 * to
 * `jQuery(document).ready(function($) {`
