Jquery function doesn't get parameter

I'm using this function: 

    $(function echo_content(name, content) {
        var random1 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*500);
        var random2 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*1000);
        alert(content);
        $('#TheDiv').show("slow");
});

And i'm calling this function on my webpage like this:

    <td>Content <script>echo_content("MyName", "The Content"); </script></td>

The problem is, that the function alerts undefined instead of The Content. What am I doing wrong?

This is not a JQuery DOM ready handler. Just define your function like that:

function echo_content(name, content) {
    var random1 = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 500);
    var random2 = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 1000);
    alert(content);
    $("#TheDiv").show("slow");
}

BTW, #TheDiv block should be loaded before you call the function.
