[jQuery] Simple alert inside each(function.... not working


Hi All,
Here is a simple function - works fine, but I cannot get alerts for
debugging - no errors - no alerts:
function tips(){
$j('li.jqtip:visible').each(function()
{ alert('something here'); //this alert is not working !!!!!!
$j(this).qtip({
content: $j(this).attr('title'),
show: { effect: 'grow', length: 400 },
hide: { effect: 'grow', length: 400 },
position: {
     corner: {
target: 'topMiddle',
tooltip: 'bottomLeft'
}
},
style: {
     tip: 'bottomLeft',
     name: 'dark',
border: {
width: 2,
radius: 8
//color: '#666666'
},
width: 200
}
                 });
});
}
What is wrong here? I feel it is something very obvious...
