[jQuery] NEWB ALERT: Why when calling a pre-existing function from .click() is it executed on page load?


Hi there,
I'm pretty new to JQuery. I have a couple of elements that need to call the
same function so my code looks like this:
$("#qSearchBut").click(quickSearch());
Pretty simple I thought. But this call executes the quickSearch() function
on page load. What fundamental thing am I overlooking?
Thanks in advance
Amanda
