[jQuery] Re: NEWB ALERT: Why when calling a pre-existing function from .click() is it executed on page load?

[Liam Potter]

$("#qSearchBut").click(function () {
        $(this).quickSearch()
});

Hi there,

I'm pretty new to JQuery.  I have a couple of elements that need to call the
same function so my code looks like this:

$("#qSearchBut").click(quickSearch());

Pretty simple I thought.  But this call executes the quickSearch() function
on page load.  What fundamental thing am I overlooking?

Thanks in advance
