I have some code that i can insert into my Joomla 3.0 page that will call the java correctly. I am trying to switch to use the JFactory::getDocument for my java functions since it is native to Joomla.

Here is the working code

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <title>jQuery demo</title>
 </head>
 <body>
   <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a>
   <script src="media/jui/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
   <script>
     $(document).ready(function(){
       $("a").click(function(event){
         alert("As you can see, the link no longer took you to jquery.com");
         event.preventDefault();
       });
     });
   </script>
 </body>
 </html>

here is what i have tried that is not working

<!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
   <meta charset="utf-8">
   <title>jQuery demo</title>
 </head>
 <body>
<?php
   JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration('
(function($) {
     $(document).ready(function(){
       $("a").click(function(event){
         alert("As you can see, the link no longer took you to jquery.com");
         event.preventDefault();
       });
     });
 }) (jQuery);
');?>
 </body>
 </html>

    Try using the following:

    <?php
   $document = JFactory::getDocument();
    $js = '
       (function($) {
           $(document).ready(function(){
              $("a").click(function(event){
                 alert("As you can see, the link no longer took you to jquery.com");
                 event.preventDefault();
              });
           });
        })(jQuery);';
   $document->addScriptDeclaration($js);
?>

    Hope this helps
