    <p>I am writing my first jquery plugin. I have done the basic coding and would now like to refactor the code inside and put some sections inside functions. Please note that I do not want to call these functions from outside the plugin. Private functions, I think. This is somewhat the logic I want to put - </p> <pre><code>(function($) { $.fn.filterGroup = function(method) { var someParam,someOtherParam; //declared here and values updated inside someFunction(), anotherFunction() return this.each(function() { //plugin code starts here this.someFunction(); alert(someParam); //I want updated value of someParam to be available here $(inputTextField).keyup(function() {//as user enters input into an input field inputText = $(inputTextField).val(); //call a function here on this and does some modification on it. this.anotherFunction(); //move a lot of lines inside this function //on subsequent keyups, I want the updated value of someOtherParam to be available here alert(someOtherParam ); } }); //not sure where and how to declare these functions ... these needs to be called from inside the plugin only (private functions) someFunction = function(filterText) { //some logic on the passed this, not sure if my sentence is correct in terms of jquery... //var someParam is updated here someParam = "something"; } anotherFunction = function(filterText) { //var someOtherParam is updated here someOtherParam = "something"; } }); })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>My question is - </p> <ul> <li>how and where do I define the <code>someFunction()</code> , so that I can call it like <code>this.someFunction();</code> . </li> <li>And, I need to be able to read the updated value of <code>someParam</code> during subsequent <code>onkeyup()</code> events. </li> </ul> <p>I checked the <em>Namespacing</em> section of <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring</a> but looks like that is about a public function to be called from outside. </p> <p>Also checked these questions - </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1855383/jquery-using-functions-from-inside-a-plugin">Using functions from inside a plugin</a> and some others but I am confused.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
