javascript error: ReferenceError: edit is not defined edit(this);

I have an html file, in which, i want to edit the fields. Following is my html code : 

  <body>
  <div class= "table">
  <div class = "thead">
  <div class = "tr">

    <div class = "td">ID</div>
   <div class = "td">GROUP NAME</div>
   <div class = "td">GROUP DESCRIPTION</div>
    <div class = "td">IS ACTIVE</div>
   <div class = "td"></div>
   <div class = "td"></div>
   </div>
   </div>

<div class= "tbody">
 <form  class = "tr">
   <div class = "td">1</div>
   <div class = "td">hello</div>
   <div class = "td">hwryou</div>
   <div class = "td">y</div>
   <div class = "td action" ><button type="button "onclick="edit(this);">edit</button>     </div>
  <form>
   </div>
  </div>
   </body>

following is my javascript code : 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="serialize-0.2.min.js">

 function edit(element){
    var tr = jQuery(element).parent().parent();
    if(!tr.hasClass("editing")) {
            tr.addClass("editing");
            tr.find("DIV.td").each(function(){
                    if(!jQuery(this).hasClass("action")){
                            var value = jQuery(this).text();
                            jQuery(this).text("");
                            jQuery(this).append('<input type="text" value="'+value+'"   />');
                    } else {
                            jQuery(this).find("BUTTON").text("save");
                    }
            });
    } else {
            tr.removeClass("editing");
            tr.find("DIV.td").each(function(){
                    if(!jQuery(this).hasClass("action")){
                            var value = jQuery(this).find("INPUT").val();
                            jQuery(this).text(value);
                            jQuery(this).find("INPUT").remove();
                    } else{ jQuery(this).find("BUTTON").text("edit");
                    }}); }
   }</script>

while creating the out put, when i click the edit button, it is showing the reference error edit is not defined.what may be reason for that?

updated :

i have an other requirement that, on clicking the save button, the changed content should be saved in the database.How can and where i should write the update query? also i required a delete button so that on clicking the delete button, an update command should run.HOw can i achieve this ?/

Solution

  • A script can be inline or external, it cannot be both.

    The presence of the src attribute causes the text node children of the script node to be ignored.

    If you want inline and external scripts, use two script elements.

    <script src="serialize-0.2.min.js"></script>
<script>
    function edit(element){
    // etc
