Question

I have the following simplified function. Real usage removed. So, onfocus I expect the value of the textbox to be alerted.

I would like to keep the function definition separate from the usage.

new function ($)
{
    $.fn.setFocus = function ()
    {
        alert($(this).val());
    }
} (jQuery);

My current attempt is not working:

$('input[type=text]').focus(setFocus);

How can I get this to work? thanks.

Answer 1

setFocus is probably not defined. You should refer to the function itself, in this case $.fn.setFocus.

$('input[type=text]').focus($.fn.setFocus);
