Init function from serverside html onclick function invalid reference due to scope

toomanylogins

I am rendering html serverside

<a href="#" onclick="checkBal('269C9607C92FE045B3A121CEE3F17FD6');">PINV</a>

the page is loaded via ajax and includes a script inline with datatable loaded after document ready. I have tried the checkBal function in intiComplete, after $document Ready and before ready in the script tag. The table loads ok with all rows correct inc urls. However onclick error Uncaught ReferenceError: checkBal is not defined I realise this is something to do with scope so where do I define the function ?

Thanks

Its hard to say why you are getting the error and where to place checkBal() without seeing your solution. I copied you code snippet and created a checkBal() function in this test case and it works:

something to do with scope so where do I define the function ?

If this is the case then follow normal Javascript scoping rules to place the function. Datatables doesn't control or affect this.

Can you post a link to your page or test case replicating the error so wwe can offer suggestions?

Thanks for reply I resolved it by

document.checkBal=function checkBal(purchaseID) {.......

The problem is that the table is populated after an ajax request and for some reason checkBal is no longer in the block scope after the request.
