Maybe you should pull the definition of the function out of the document ready definition?

Subject: [jQuery] Re: Calling other functions inside a function
Thank you. The Firebug suggestion was helpful. The error message is
saying that getDirectorIds() is not defined.
<script type="text/javascript">
// make sure at least one checkbox is checked
function validateSubmit() {
if( $("input:checkbox:checked").length == 0 ) {
alert( "Please select at least one section for your PDF profile" );
return false;
} else {
createCharts();
// error occurs here
getDirectorIDs();
return true;
}
}
</script>
This is the getDirectorIDs() function:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
// this gets all of the director id_individual values
$(document).ready(function getDirectorIDs() {
var result = "";
$(".chkDirector:checked").each(function() {
result = result + $(this).val() + ",";
});
// place the selected id_individual values in the label control
lblCheckedDirectors2
document.getElementById('lblCheckedDirs').value = result;
alert("cool");
});
</script>
