javascript call a function of a plugin in instantiating it -

i want call function in plugin.

i overloaded function want call function it.

$("myselector").myplugin({     my_function : function (){         functioin_from_the_plugin();     } });

an error appears says "unknown function".

either plugin allows hookup startup event (e.g. oninit in following, plugin-specific name),

e.g.

$("myselector").myplugin({     oninit: function (instance){         instance.function_from_the_plugin();     } });

or (if plugin retains correct this when calling method):

$("myselector").myplugin({     oninit: function (){         this.function_from_the_plugin();     } });

or, have wait plugin created before calling method.

depending on way created plugin, usual way (which uses string specify function name call):

$("myselector").myplugin().myplugin("function_from_the_plugin");

this creates plugin, attaches element, calls method on plugin.

note: without seeing code plugin, these suggestions. plugin pattern brain-dead , don't allow function calling
