jQuery -- How did I get here?
<p>I must have used someone's existing code as a framework, and I developed a jQuery/JavaScript application I now need to use. It works fine if invoked from within the following code but I need to pass values for <code>nnn</code> from elsewhere in the page. Because I don't understand jQuery structure well enough, my efforts so far have failed.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
$(function() {
.
.
.
  var BuildTree = function(centralID) {
    ...
  }
  BuildTree(nnn);
});
</code></pre>

<p>I want to do something like:</p>

<pre><code>function BuildTree(...) {
...
}
</code></pre>

<p>Thanks!</p>
