[jQuery] Re: Building functions (newbie question)

Define the functions in the appropriate scope (either global or inside
the function passed to ready). Functions are executed in the scope
they are called, so you write them like they were already inside the
click handler.

$(document).ready(function() {

function yourAjaxFunction(){
...
// 'this' in here will be the current element in each()
};

$("#paradigm_all").click(function(){
$("input[name^='paradigm']").each(function(){
if(this.checked){
yourAjaxFunction();
yourCSSFunction();
//here 'this' == this inside the called functions
}
});
});
});

hope that helps.
