jQuery onChange: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string

Question

I'm trying out a javascript in my rails with jQuery setup, but I'm getting an error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string"

$(document).ready({
  $('#pitch_name').on('change',function() {
    $('#edit_pitch_name').remove();
  });
});

Any ideas on what I'm missing here?

missing function() i.e. $(document).ready(function(){ ... }) — Satpal

Yep, that's it! I was completely blind-sided... Add it as an answer and I'll accept it. — Sebastian Plasschaert

You have written a wrong syntax of document.ready missing of function(), you should use below code::

$( document ).ready(function() {
  // Your code
});

You are missing function

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#pitch_name').on('change',function() {
    $('#edit_pitch_name').remove();
  });
});
