Jquery: Calling functions from different documents
- by Tom
Hi,
I've got some Jquery functions that I keep in a "custom.js" file. On some pages, I need to pass PHP variables to the Jquery so some Jquery bits need to remain in the HTML documents. However, as I'm now trying to refactor things to the minimum, I'm tripping over the following:
If I put this in my custom.js:
$(document).ready(function()
{
function sayHello() {
alert("hello");
}
}
And this in a HTML document:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
sayHello();
});
</script>
... the function doesn't get called. However, if both are placed in the HTML document, the function works fine.
Is there some kind of public property I need to declare for the function or how do I get Jquery functions in my HTML to talk to external .js files? They're correctly included and work fine otherwise.
Thanks.
