Naming Functions in jQuery
<p>So I just started with jQuery and the functions are confusing me. I want to be able to just name a jQuery function and then call it, without saying when it should be called in the function. I've looked and I can't seem to understand any of the answers. My code is below:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;

        $(function() {
            $('a').click(function() {
                $('#box').slideUp();

            });
        });
    &lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I want it to do something more like this however:</p>

<pre><code>$(function slideBox() {
        $('#box').slideUp();
    });
    &lt;/script&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>And then call it through a OnClick event or something on a button.</p>
