Question

Can someone please help why this is not working.

HTML Code:

<li><a href="#" onclick="adminDBDisplay(ownorg);" >OOrg</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="adminDBDisplay(twoorg);" >Twoorg</a></li>

jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){
    function adminDBDisplay(db){
        alert("Got into function" +db);
        // Planning to use jQuery Ajax here
    } 
});

When I look using Firebug, I get following error:

"ReferenceError: adminDBDisplay is not defined"

Can someone please help me why this is not working. There something wrong on how I am approaching this. Please let me know if there are better ways. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

When defining a function with function name() {...}, if you are already inside a function, then it will only be defined in that function.

Function definitions should not be wrapped in a .ready(), since they don’t run until they are called. Remove the .ready() wrapper and you should be good to go.
