jquery define object outside the domcument.ready()

i have a created object outside the jquery document.ready call and then calling that object methods from inside the document.ready. it works fine on firefox, but giving error in chrome. obviously if i put that object inside the document.ready, it works fine, but then i wont able to call that object from outside the document.ready. so i need solution for this. following is the co开发者_开发百科de

var status = {
       method_one: function() { ...},
       method_two: function() { ...}
}

jquery(function() { // document ready
    status.method_one(); // giving error here in chrome, but does not in firefox.
});

works fine for me in Chrome: http://jsfiddle.net/5s739/

are you setting the jquery value yourself? Perhaps it should be jQuery with a capital Q?

var status = {
    method_one: function() { alert(1); },
    method_two: function() { alert(2); }
}

jQuery(function() {
    status.method_one();
});

you can probably test this quickly by checking if $ == jquery or jQuery == jquery unless you're assigning this yourself.

How about:

var status = null;

jquery(function() { // document ready
    status = {
       method_one: function() { ...},
       method_two: function() { ...}
    }
    status.method_one(); // giving error here in chrome, but does not in firefox.
});

Than you can still call status outside document.ready()
