javascript function is not executed

Question

Why alert("Test1") is executed, while alert("Test2") is not executed? P.S. Currently I'm not using json data.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    var param = 10;
           $.getJSON(
                       'modules/mod_scheduler/updateList.php?param'+param,
                       function(data)
                       {
                           alert("Test1");
                           find_optimal_schedule();
                       }
           );
    });
</script>

<script language="javascript">
function find_optimal_schedule() {
    alert("Test2");
    //...
}
</script>

Please show the rest of the find_optimal_schedule() function. If there is a syntax error in the part you don't show it would stop the function from running and thus not alert "Test2". — nnnnnn

@nnnnnn: Currently this function is empty. It contains only alert("Test2"); which is not displayed. — You Kuper

Oh, OK - I guess I assumed (incorrectly) that //... represented more code. But if that's the whole function and the whole of that script block I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. — nnnnnn

I'm not sure about it, but try changing this bit:

<script language="javascript">

into:

<script type="text/javascript">

And see if it runs.

I changed this line, but it did not help solve the problem. Maybe it does not see the function find_optimal_schedule()??

Have you tried using Firebug on Firefox and see what error appears in the Console?

Even the following does not work: $(document).ready(function() { alert("Test1"); find_optimal_schedule(); alert("Test3"); }); I can see only "Test1"

There's likely a syntax error in find_optimal_schedule(), in the part of the code you haven't shown.

What happens when you run find_optimal_schedule() directly in the Firebug console?
