Using javascript functions in a Jquery script

Question

Sorry if this sounds weird but i have tried to create a function that checks a variable before executing the remaining jQuery code, it looks something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var myVar = true;

    var myFunction = function(){
        if (myVar) {
            // do something
        };
    };

    $("div").click(function(){
        myFunction();
        $("div).fadeOut("fast");
    });
});

I guess this is not how you implement a function in jQuery so i am a bit lost.

Well you forgot the closeing " after div. I don't know if that is a typo or your problem. If that isn't the issue, what errors are you getting? We need more detail than that — Jeff Shaver

jQuery is a JavaScript library. You don't write in jQuery, you write JavaScript with jQuery. — Matt Burland

You are missing a double quote in your click handler:

$("div").fadeOut("fast");

$("div).fadeOut("fast");

Syntax error
