[jQuery] call a method outside a jquery object

[jasper saronno]

Hello Everybody,

I am not sure I have explained well enought what I mean.

I found very difficult to call a method outside his scope.

For example I have 2 files js

myFunction.js

init.js (where I initialize all my page)


[init.js ]
// JavaScript Document
$(document).ready(function(){
        //call getX();
});

-----------------------------------------------------


[myFunction.js ]
// JavaScript Document

 $(
        function(){
                var x = "Hello world";
                function getX(){
                        alert(x);
                }
        }
);



I tried many syntax in order to call the method outside its scope

$.getX();

$(function(){getX()});

$().function().getX();

$("myHtmlObj").click(function(){getX()});


I really would like to understand that issue, if you also may suggest
the title of a good book and the chapter that explain it I would
really appreciate.

Many thanks
