deviceready not firing in cordova

The deviceready isn't firing correctly (at least in iOS) for my cordova project. I have searched for hours and still cannot figure this out. Am I doing something incorrectly? The path to js/cordova.js exists as well:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Geolocation</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, target-densityDpi=device-dpi, user-scalable=no" />
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/app.css">
    <script type="text/javascript">

    // Fastclick
    if ('addEventListener' in document) {
        document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
        FastClick.attach(document.body);
        }, false);
    }

    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/cordova.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

    // Wait for device API libraries to load
    //
    function onLoad() {
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    }

    // device APIs are available
    //
    function onDeviceReady() {
        alert("ready");
        // Now safe to use device APIs
    }

    </script>
</head>
<body onload="onLoad()">

I'm not sure what I'm missing as I'm not getting any errors if I inspect in Chrome
