How to call external function inside jquery code from html?

function, html, javascript, jquery

Solution

Your `getTicket` function is defined only in the context (scope) of the jQuery closure (anonymous function). Define it in the global scope instead (elsewhere in the file and not as a "function parameter").

If you need variables from that scope, encapsulate them in a namespace (an object), or declare it as `window.getTicket = function() { /* ... */}`.

Problem

I need to load function to get data from external JS included in HTML file, and I'm doing this: ``` <body onLoad="getTicket();"> ...... </body> ``` or this: ``` <html> <body> <head> <script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="js/functions.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { getTicket(); }); <script> </head> <body> </html> ``` or this: ``` <html> <body> <head> <script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="js/functions.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script> getTicket(); <script> </head> <body> </html> ``` And I have this in functions.JS: ``` functioOne() { } functionTwo() { } $(document).ready(function() { ... ..... function getTicket() { //to do } }); ``` But does'nt work and in the console display this: ``` Uncaught ReferenceError: getTicket is not defined ``` Regards.
