This function is not beign activated. Do you know why?

$("#text1").append("<p>ListIt allows you to create an infinite amount of To-Do lists so you will never forget a single thing again!

$("#navMenu").hide();
amountOfLists = 0;
listName = "Your To-Do list!";
};

start()

Answer 1

Is this what you mean:
function start() {
// Do something
}
$(document).ready(start);
Then you can call start() later again...

Answer 2

It looks like it should work...
Maybe add an alert() or console.log() in the function just to check that it’s being called?
Or, make sure that you haven’t declared start as a function or a variable already.

Answer 3

It works for me perfectly... strange!
I use the SL iOS app; what do you use?

Answer 4

I think it's because I changed it from function start() to $(document).ready(function() Do you know if I can name the function name when it's like this?

Answer 5

Yes thank you. I needed it so I can make a button that goes to the homepage once your viewing a list! Thank you so much for all your help 😀

Answer 6
