Help with Jquery/ trying to make the date object work in javascript

[benjamin.morgan]

<script type="text/javascript">
var monthss = ['January','February','March','April','May','June', 'July','August','September','October','November',' December'];
var dayss= ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday' ,'Friday','Saturday'];
var mydate=new Date();
var monthh=mydate.getMonth();
var dayy=mydate.getDay();
var dayyss=mydate.getDate();
if (dayyss<10) {
dayyss="0"+dayyss
}
var yearr=mydate.getFullYear();
var fulldate = " " + dayss[dayy] + ", " + monthss[monthh] +" "+ dayyss +", "+ yearr +" ";
(document).ready(function() {
$("span#footdate").append(fulldate);
});


</script>
<span id="footdate"></span>


that is my code. if I change the $("span#footdate").append(fulldate); to document.write(fulldate); it works. if i leave it with the Jquery way it doesn't work. please help because I am a noob.
