Title Body

I have a function that strips the youtube id off a url. I then want to use this function 10 time per page (in the wordpress loop). The function works great when I feed it the url within my function script tags, but when I start a new set of script tags within the loop, it does not work. I need to know how I can use my function without declaring it all first. So this is the code I have in the header: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { var getList = function(url, gkey){ var returned = null; if (url.indexOf("?") != -1){ var list = url.split("?")[1].split("&"), gets = []; for (var ind in list){ var kv = list[ind].split("="); if (kv.length>0) gets[kv[0]] = kv[1]; } returned = gets; if (typeof gkey != "undefined") if (typeof gets[gkey] != "undefined") returned = gets[gkey]; } return returned; }; // THIS WORKS alert(getList('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4J5dAUnR4', "v")); }); But when I try use this somewhere else on the page, it doesnt work. <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { alert(getList('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4J5dAUnR4', "v")); }; </script> Firebug gives me getList is not defined which makes sense, because its not. Am I able to 'globally' declare this function?
