You must write that function body outside the ready();
because ready is used to call a function or to bind a function with binding id like this.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("Some id/class name").click(function(){
alert("i'm in");
});
});
but you can't do this if you are calling "showAmount" function onchange/onclick event
$(document).ready(function() {
function showAmount(value){
alert(value);
}
});
You have to write "showAmount" outside the ready();
function showAmount(value){
alert(value);//will be called on event it is bind with
}
$(document).ready(function() {
alert("will display on page load")
});
