if i have a function...

 

function alert_function(){

alert('dave');

}

 

I can call this function from any other javscript code i write...

however if i wrap that funciton within a

 

$(document).ready()

function alert_function(){

alert('dave');

}

})

 

I can no longer trigger that function from external javascript...

how can i make it so that i can still trigger that function from external scripts..

kind regards J
