Question

I just learned Jquery, My javascript is using the onload event within a function and not an anonimouse function:

window.onload = xFunction;

The problem is when i tryed to use the JQuery ready even, I know i can take the content of xFunction and insert it into anonimouse function:

$("document").ready(function(){
//content of the xFunction.
});

But what i want to do is just supply the function name as the event handler for the jquery ready even:

$("document").ready(function(){
xFunction;
});

//Or

$("document").ready(xFunction);

Both didn’t worked,

My questions are:

• Is there a way of doing this?

• Mabye there is but its a bad practice?*

• Or there isn’t?*

Answer 1

Call the function in $(document).ready, change xFunction to xFunction()

Live Demo

$(document).ready(function(){
  xFunction();
});

or

Live Demo

$("document").ready(xFunction);

function xFunction()
{
    alert("Call on document.ready");
}
