Hi guys
Thanks for the great feedback. MorningZ was right on the money with my
scenario. I'm incorporating a js file of a photo gallery which was
built by some else and all the code is wrapped in the $(document).ready
() function.
So it looks like you all seem to agree that all the methods inside
this function are not available globally so I'm going to have to re-
factor the code in the js file. I'm not to sure why the developer
wrapped it all in the ready() function but I'll have to painfully pull
it apart now... nothing's ever easy is it :)
Cheers
Matthew
