How to send the task variable in Joomla

I have a menu item in joomla (virtuemart) with url

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer

Now, in view.html.php of manufacturer view I added a function called jump as

function jump(){echo "hello";}

I added task=jump in the url so that it becomes 

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&task=jump

But even now the default display function executes and not the jump function. Why? Please help me. Thanks

The task in this url index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=manufacturer&task=jump will execute the jump function of default controller.So if there is any function jump in the controller.php will execute not the jump function of view.If you want to execute jump of any other controller use this structure task=controllername.taskname
