issue with link to external js file

Question

I have a problem with the

document.ready

function. I put my external

.js

link at the bottom but trigger function on the top and I get this error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: scrollWin is not defined

Is there any possibility to add the link to

.js

file in the bottom, or do I have to put it in the

<head>

?

<head>

    <link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head>

<body>



    <button onclick="scrollWin()">Click me to scroll</button>



    <script src="js/jquery-1.12.3.js"></script>

    <script src="js/custom.js"></script> 

</body>

The JavaScript file:

// custom.js file

$(document).ready(function() {



    function scrollWin() {

        window.scrollTo(300, 500);

    }



});

Answer 1

define function outside on document.ready

$(document).ready(function() {

});

 function scrollWin() {
     window.scrollTo(300, 500);
 }

OR

$(document).ready(function(){
  scrollWin = function ()
  {
     window.scrollTo(300, 500);
  }
});
