Answer by muffel
function myFunction(){
$("#overLay").hide();
$("#x").hide();
$("#message").hide();
}
$(function(){ //run after page is loaded
$("#overLay").click(myFunction);
$("#x").click(myFunction);
});

As for the syntactical part, The way you are calling the functions are wrong, call them without the parenthesis
$("#overLay").click( myFunction );
$("#x").click( myFunction );
