It's a simple scoping problem. Anything you create inside an anonymous
function will be accessible only within the function. If you need
something to be accessible between the anon. functions, simply move it
into a higher scope, like the global namespace (eh, not idea) or the
jQuery namespace (better idea).
$(function(){
$.displayMessage(){ alert('hello world') }
});
$(function(){
$.displayMessage();
});
