When you created a separate function the code ran only a tiny bit earlier, but it was probably early enough for the elements to finish loading and the listeners to properly attach.
This is frustrating issue as I can’t depend on the content editors to be savvy enough with WordPress / HTML to understand how the text they input will be parsed… –EDIT– Having thought of this a bit more I have reconsidered my earlier answer. HTML5+ comes with the Tidy extension, if you are able to … Read more
