I've got a .js file that has this function in it:

function showDialog(divID)
{
    var dialogDiv = $(divID);

    dialogDiv.dialog
    (
        {
            bgiframe: true,
            modal: true,
            autoOpen: false,
            show: 'blind'
        }
    )

And in my page this:

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(function()
    {
        $("input.invokeDialog").click.showDialog("#testDialog");
    });

</script>

I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't recognize my showDialog function. Is it not possible to reference it with the dot as I am doing? Do I need a jQuery specific function or syntax for it to know that it's a jQuery function or is there no such thing?
