Why isn't my JavaScript working in JSFiddle?

I can\'t find out what is the problem with this JSFiddle.

The function is being defined inside a load handler and thus is in a different scope. As @ellisbben notes in the comments, you can fix this by explicitly defining it on the window object. Better, yet, change it to apply the handler to the object unobtrusively: http://jsfiddle.net/pUeue/

$('input[type=button]').click( function() {
   alert("test");   
});

Note applying the handler this way, instead of inline, keeps your HTML clean. I'm using jQuery, but you could do it with or without a framework or using a different framework, if you like.
