jQuery simulate click
Question by Bwyss
I want to trigger a function when the page is loaded, I can see here: jQuery call function after load that there are many ways to do this.
However when I add $('#button').click in front of my function then the ‘getType function’ is not recognized. For example:
$('#button').click(function getType(id) {
//...some code
});
error: getType is not defined
What am I doing wrong?

The .click() method requires a callback function. So you can do something like this instead:
//Define your function somewhere else
function getType(id) {
//...some code
}
$('#button').click(function() {
getType($(this).attr('id')); //Execute it when its clicked.
});
