[jQuery] Closure/scope

[Magnificent]

Hello all,

I'm trying to group some exisiting top-level functions inside a
closure (to avoid polluting the global namespace) but I'm not quite
getting it to work.

First, all the JS works outside my anonymous function, but once I put
it in the anonymous function I get an error of "crossfade is not
defined".  Does anyone see anything completely obvious that I am
missing?

I'm not quite getting why the the setInterval/crossfade works outside
the anonymous function but not inside.  Anything inside start() should
be able to see vars/functions outside start() and it should all be
protected in the closure created by the top-level anonymous function?
I'm not trying to access anything *within* crossfade(), I'm just
trying to execute it.


(function($) {

        //vars up here that internal functions can access
        //also using some jquery inside here, so using $

        function crossfade() {
                //body here
        }

        //other functions

        function start() {
                //body here

                cInterval = setInterval('crossfade()', 5000);
        }

})(jQuery);
