jquery onclick function not defined

问题:

I have an ajax script and I am trying to post from a function. I am using a onlick href but its not coming up as undefined. This is using wordpress. I have tried to move the code around inside and outside the scope but I still cant seem to get it to work.

    <div id="live">
    <div class="container">
        <?php the_content(); ?>
        <div id="comment-display">
            <form method="post" action="index.php" id="comments_submit">
                <input type="hidden" id="nameBox" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['name'] ?>" name="name"/>
                <input type="hidden" id="emailBox" name="email" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['email']; ?>"/>
                <textarea id="chatBox" placeholder="Ask a question or make a comment" name="comment" class="form-control"></textarea>
                <a href="javascript:submitComment();" type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" class="btn cardh-bg text-white text-bold margin-top-5"> Submit Comment </a>
            </form>
            <br />
            <div id="displayComments"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function($) {
        setInterval(function(){
            $.ajax({
                method: "GET",
                url: "<?php echo get_template_directory_uri()?>/get_chat.php"
            }).done(function(html){
                $('#displayComments').html(html);
            });
        }, 2000);

        function submitComment(){
            $.ajax({
                method: "POST",
                url: "template-live.php",
                data: {submitComment:$('#chatBox').val(),submitName:$('#nameBox').val(),submitEmail:$('#emailBox').val()}
            }).done(function(html){
                alert('Your comment has been submitted, and will be displayed after approval.');
                $('#chatBox').val('');
            });
        }
    });
</script>

Thank you :)

回答1:

When you do javascript:submitComment() that's calling a the global function submitComment. Since the submitComment is defined in the jQuery(function($) { ... }) function, it is not a global. Therefore, window.submitComment is undefined (hence undefined is not a function).

The globals are stored in the window object.

Therefore, you can expose that submitComment as a global:

window.submitComment = function () {...}

Note that you should avoid using globals as much as possible. In this case you can do that by adding:

$("#submit").click(submitComment);
// In this case, you shouldn't declare submitComment as a global anymore

And since you are in a form, you want to stop the default browser behavior when clicking the a element, by using return false at the end of the function.

Alternatively to @Ionică Bizău's solution.

You could use onclick="submitComment()" instead of href.

<a onclick="submitComment()" type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" class="btn cardh-bg text-white text-bold margin-top-5"> Submit Comment </a>

        <input type="hidden" id="emailBox" name="email" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['email']; ?>" />
        <textarea id="chatBox" placeholder="Ask a question or make a comment" name="comment" class="form-control"></textarea>

    window.submitComment = function(){
