JS function as simple as it gets, hyperlink syntax

Can someone explain why, in this example, the function is not firing? I've stripped it down to the simplest thing and I must have typo or wrong syntax for hyperlink.

JS

function takePic(type){
    alert(type);
}

HTML

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="takePic('1');">Track Progress</a>

Change onLoad to no wrap (head) in the "choose framework" dropdown. With onLoad, the function is wrapped in another function and does not have global scope.
