Can I use jQuery or JavaScript code in partial views?

I have a grid in my partial view and I am trying to hide one grid element using jQuery in that partial view. I am not able to do so. But same code works if I use it without a partial view.

Can anybody help me out?

Here is my code

<%@ Page Title= Language=C# Inherits=System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<NascoBenefitBuilder.ViewModels.Obn.ProductTemplate.ObnProductTemplateMainData> %>

<script type = text/javascript language=javascript>

$(document).ready(function(){

    alert(success);

});

</script>

This code is in my partil view but when this page loads I am not able to popup this alert box.

thanks Thanks
