Uncaught ReferenceError: myfunction is not defined Parse.com

Question

Hello everyone I'm trying to creating a login function using parse.com and javascript for my website using a form. However I keep on getting the Uncaught ReferenceError: myfunction is not defined error when I test it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys I have added the quotation marks which have removed the Uncaught ReferenceError: myfunction is not defined error. But I'm now getting an Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined error. How would I go about removing this error?

Could you set up a jsfiddle.net?

Your function has several syntax errors, so parsing stops and the function is never defined.

 $(#signup-upFirstName).val());

You're missing quotation marks around "#signup-upFirstName" and your other jQuery selectors. jQuery selectors are just regular strings, they require quotes.

Plus he is missing the jQuery <script> lib reference

@FelipeKM That would yield a different error down the road when the function is actually invoked when that button is clicked...

You're missing quotes in your jQuery selectors.

function  myfunction() {
                var user = new Parse.User();
                user.set("FirstName", $('#signup-upFirstName').val());
                user.set("Surname", $('#signup-Surname').val());
                user.set("EmailAddress", $('#signup-Confirmemailaddress').val());
                user.set("Password", $('#signup-ConfirmPassword').val());

                user.signUp(null, {
                    success: function (user) {
                        // Hooray! Let them use the app now.
                    },
                    error: function (user, error) {
                        // Show the error message somewhere and let the user try again.
                        alert("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
                    }
                });
            };
