Jquery Function is saying not defined when running a php script

Question

I am essentially making it so when you click on a button to \"vote up\"

at the moment i have

clients.php

Answer 1

Why do I get an error in the console saying "ReferenceError: voteUp is not defined"

Scope.

The voteUp() and voteDown are defined in the startup block (within the {} of $(document).ready(function() ... so are not available outside this block.

You need to move the two functions outside:

$(document).ready(function() {
    ...
});

function voteUp()
{
    $.get("voteup.php");
    return false;
}

function voteDown()
{
    $.get("votedown.php");
    return false;
}
