Hi, why is my #div not hiding when it's clicked, maybe placing it within a document.ready function wasn't needed ?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but the first thing you need to understand about jQuery is that its a JavaScript library, meaning that jQuery is simply JavaScript code, nothing more.

Try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script>
$((function(){
$("#tags_hide").hide();
}));
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tags_hide">If you click on the "Hide" button, I will disappear.</div>
<button id="hide">Hide</button>
<button id="show">Show</button>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps

I thought it had to do with FireFox NoScript extension because I found a post relating to the error message that you can change a setting within NoScript.

I've never seen event used in that manner with Javascript, yet jQuery is as you say, nothing more then Javascript.

Yes, the events are used in plain old javascript; it's the vehicle for making this happen in your javascript code. For example, onclick, onmouseover, etc... It's just written a different way.
JQuery's main purpose is for you to develop your code easier and quicker. Their slogan is "write less, do more"

I know how to use events in Javascript; the only thing being the syntax.

Ok, so is there any additional help needed on this thread or are you good at this point with regard to the jQuery example/div hiding/fadeIn, etc..?

I think I'm good at this point. :)
