Function with arguements inside jQuery
Question
Can someone please help why this is not working.
HTML Code:
<li><a href="#" onclick="adminDBDisplay(ownorg);" >OOrg</a></li>
<li><a href="#" onclick="adminDBDisplay(twoorg);" >Twoorg</a></li>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
function adminDBDisplay(db){
alert("Got into function" +db);
// Planning to use jQuery Ajax here
}
});
When I look using Firebug, I get following error:
"ReferenceError: adminDBDisplay is not defined"
Can someone please help me why this is not working. There something wrong on how I am approaching this. Please let me know if there are better ways. Thanks for your help.

When defining a function with function name() {...} , if you are already inside a function, then it will only be defined in that function.
Function definitions should not be wrapped in a .ready() , since they don't run until they are called. Remove the .ready() wrapper and you should be good to go.

The following notation:
$(function() { ... });
itself is a function that binds function() {...} to document.ready . And running function adminDBDisplay(db){...} in document.ready only defines the function it at runtime, but doesn't actually call it. In order to call it, you would want adminDBDisplay('parameter');
To effectively implement it, you'll want to place it within the body of your page as follows:
<head>
<script src="yourversionofjquery.js"></script>
<script>
//Defining your function for calling later
function adminDBDisplay(db)
{
alert("Got into function" +db);
//Planning to use Jquery Ajax here
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
//Binding an anonymous function to document.ready
$(function () {
//Do whatever you want after document.ready
});
</script>
<div> rest of body</div>
</body>
Let me know if that makes sense/fixes your errors.
EDIT: also, put 'single quote' around 'ownorg', like "adminDBDisplay('ownorg');" otherwise it's looking for a variable called ownorg.
