Create Jquery Plugin

I creating jquery Plugin with simple alert option. I did this way see below is my code.But it doesn't work.
Below code is the seperate js file.
(function($) {
$.fn.gettingmessage = function() {
var element = this;
$(element).load(function() {
alertingcontent();
function preventnextpage() {
return false;
}
function alertingcontent() {
alert("nicely done");
});
};
})(jQuery);
I called this function as
this way
$(function(){
$("body").gettingmessage();
});
I am not sure how can i fix this any suggestion would be great.
JSFIDDLE
Thanks

First, you're missing a closing bracket.
Second, the load() function doesn't do what you're searching for, use ready() instead of.
Updated code :
(function($) {
$.fn.gettingmessage = function() {
var element = this;
$(element).ready(function() {
alertingcontent();
function preventnextpage() {
return false;
}
function alertingcontent() {
alert("nicely done");
}
});
};
})(jQuery);
$(function(){
$("body").gettingmessage();
});

Calling a function (ex. namespace.show) by name

I want to call a function with a namespace based on its name.
Perhaps some background: What I want is, dynamically bind pages via $.mobile.loadPage(inStrUrl, { showLoadMsg: false }); and then, based on the current page, invoke a function within a loaded page. For example: each page has a showFilter function, the Event is attached to a main.html - page which should call the matching function in the current page.
I also tried some solutions, with jquery too, but nothing works for me.
This is my function code:
function namespace() { }
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
And want to "invoke" or "call" it via its name.
This is what i tried at least.
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace.showFilter"];
fn();
});
I get error TypeError: fn is not a function
Here is a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/1/

You can call it in the following way:
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"]["showFilter"]();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window["namespace"].showFilter();
});
or
$(document).ready(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});

I found that I had to manually set it to window.
window.namespace = function() { }
window.namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
};
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = window["namespace"]["showFilter"];
fn();
});
http://jsfiddle.net/xBCes/4/

Like this:
$(function() {
window.namespace.showFilter();
});
P.S. I shortened the $(document).ready(...)

function namespace() {}
namespace.showFilter = function () {
alert("Test");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
var fn = namespace.showFilter();
fn();
});

Can't addClass() to an object after passing it through a function - jQuery

I have a function that passes through an object in its parameter, and then does something with that object.
function theFunction (theButton) {
theButton.addClass('inactive');
}
$('.button').click(function () {
theFunction($(this));
return false;
});
The problem is that it doesn't apply that class to the button. What am I missing here?
Here's a JS Fiddle with the code in.

Your code works well. You just forgot to include jquery to the fiddle. Here is the corrected one: http://jsfiddle.net/hNYmd/3/

You were not loading any jQuery
I have updated your fiddle
SEE
http://jsfiddle.net/hNYmd/4/
update your code also
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.button').click(function () {
theFunction($(this));
return false;
});
});

you should put your code on dom ready like this ,FIDDLE
function theFunction (theButton) {
theButton.addClass('inactive');
}
$(function(){
$('.button').click(function () {
theFunction($(this));
return false;
})
})

How to call javascript function with parameter in jquery event handler?

I am stuck. Searched and tried for hours.
EDIT:
I still can't make it work. Okay, I'll just put the source code to make it clear what I want to accomplish.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var date_fmt="yyyy-mm-dd";
var time_fmt="HH:MM";
var date_field="#id_start_0, #id_end_0"; //id refering to html input type='text'
var time_field="#id_start_1, #id_end_1"; //id refereing to html input type='text'
function clearFmt(fmt_type)
{
if($(this).val() == fmt_type) {
$(this).val("");
}
}
function putFmt(fmt_type)
{
if($(this).val() == "") {
$(this).val(fmt_type);
}
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$(date_field).attr("title",date_fmt);
$(time_field).attr("title",time_fmt);
$(date_field).click(function() {
clearFmt(date_fmt);
});
$(date_field).blur(function(){
putFmt(date_fmt);
});
$(time_field).click(function(){
clearFmt(time_fmt);
});
$(time_field).blur(function(){
putFmt(time_fmt);
});
});
</script>
Help ?

Use the jquery bind method:
function myfunc(param) {
alert(param.data.key);
}
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#foo").bind('click', { key: 'value' }, myfunc);
});
Also see my jsfiddle.
=== UPDATE ===
since jquery 1.4.3 you also can use:
function myfunc(param) {
alert(param.data.key);
}
$(document).ready( function() {
$("#foo").click({ key: 'value' }, myfunc);
});
Also see my second jsfiddle.
=== UPDATE 2 ===
Each function has his own this. After calling clearFmt in this function this is no longer the clicked element. I have two similar solutions:
In your functions add a parameter called e.g. element and replace $(this) with element.
function clearFmt(element, fmt_type) {
if (element.val() == fmt_type) {
element.val("");
}
}
Calling the function you have to add the parameter $(this).
$(date_field).click(function() {
clearFmt($(this), date_fmt);
});
Also see my third jsfiddle.
-=-
An alternative:
function clearFmt(o) {
if ($(o.currentTarget).val() == o.data.fmt_type) {
$(o.currentTarget).val("");
}
}
$(date_field).click({fmt_type: date_fmt}, clearFmt);
Also see my fourth jsfiddle.

The following should work as seen in this live demo:
function myfunc(bar) {
alert(bar);
}
$(function() {
$("#foo").click( function() {
myfunc("value");
});
});

anyFunctionName = (function()
{
function yourFunctionName1()
{
//your code here
}
function yourFunctionName2(parameter1, param2)
{
//your code here
}
return
{
yourFunctionName1:yourFunctionName1,
yourFunctionName2:yourFunctionName2
}
})();
$document.ready(function()
{
anyFunctionName.yourFunctionName1();
anyFunctionName.yourFunctionName2();
});
Note: if you don't use 'anyFuctionName' to declare any function then no need return method. just write your function simply like, yourFunctionName1().
in $document.ready section parameter is not issue. you just put your function name here. if you use 'anyFuctionName' function then you have to follow above format.

function myfunc(e) {
alert(e.data.bar); //this is set to "value"
}
$("#foo").click({bar: "value"}, myfunc);

People are making this complicated, simply call directly as you would in Javascript
myfunc("value");

Passing $this in JavaScript

How would I rewrite this to use a common function, pretending that the common function would eventually have more than the 1 line of code in it:
$('.insert').hover(function() {
$(this).css('cursor','pointer');
});
$('.delete').hover(function() {
$(this).css('cursor','pointer');
});

Or if you just want to avoid duplicating code
$('.insert,.delete').hover(function() {
$(this).css('cursor','pointer');
});

Just pull your current code into a separate function:
var f = function() {
$(this).css('cursor','pointer');
};
and:
$('.insert').hover(f);
$('.delete').hover(f);

this is just a variable, and like any variable you can pass it as a parameter to another function:
function my_func(obj) {
$(obj).css('cursor','pointer');
}
$('.insert').hover(function() {
my_func(this);
});
$('.delete').hover(function() {
my_func(this);
});

If I understand correctly...
function(elem) {
$(elem).hover(function() {
$(this).css('cursor','pointer');
});
}
