jquery function called multiple times

Question

I have 2 js files. In the first one I have this:

var functionName = "video"; 
var cont = 1;

$(function() { 
    window.control = function control() {   
        var tipo1 = functionName + cont + "();";
        var tipo2 = eval(tipo1);
        tipo2;
        cont++;
    });

In the second one:

function video1() {
    control();
}

function video2() {
    control();
}

The first time was fine, but in the second, first execute video1() and then video2() , why?

Answer 1

Your definition is wrong:

window.control = function control() { 

I imagine because of this it's firing control() execution.

Change this to:

window.control = function() {

Also I see no reason for defining this function at DOM ready state. It will just cause confusion and potential reference issues. The definition of a function is only ran at execution point, these should potentially be on DOM ready state depending on their use.
