Question

Is it possible to call jQuery’s $(document).ready function from within another Javascript function? I have a button, which when clicked should call the jQuery DOM ready function. Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you are calling it from another javascript function, drop the $(document).ready part

function f1(){  $('#idhere').something; } 

or if you want to call a function only when the document is ready, put the function call inside $(document).ready

$(document).ready(function(){  function f1(){   //do something here  } }); 

But you are not taking advantage of jquery’s full functionality here. If you want to associate an onclick event with an element, you can do it like so:

<button id='button1'></button> 

In the js file:

$('#button1').click(function(){  //do the onclick sequence here });
