Uncaught ReferenceError: 'functionName' not defined

So I have checked my script tags in my .jsp file:

<script type=text/javascript src=javascript/jquery-1.3.1.min.js></script>



<script language=JavaScript > some content here .... </script>

and below in the same .jsp file I have a tag:

<body BGCOLOR=white text=black link=blue vlink=red onLoad=functionName();enableBackButton();>

However, in my JavaScript file I have:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('current').click(function(event){



    function functionName() { ....... }

Somehow I keep getting an error in my Chrome console stating:

Uncaught ReferenceError: functionName is not defined

Move your functionName() out side of $(document).ready(function(){

function functionName() { ....... }



$(document).ready(function(){

    $('.current').click(function(event){

        functionName();

    });

});

Also, you need to use . to target element by class or # to target element by id

So $('.current') will select any element with class=current and $('#current') will select an element with id=current

Last note is to update your jQuery version since 1.3.1 is extremely outdated already and it lacks of many helpful and important features which is supported by later versions.
