Function “is not a function”

It looks like "save_masmoh_user is not a function" is a very common problem with JavaScript, yet after looking through quite a few threads I still cannot understand what is causing it in my case.

I have a custom object, defined as: 

function save_masmoh_user() {
    var save_masmoh = $("#save_masmoh").serialize();
    var ft_user_id = $('#ft_user_id').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>myaccount/saveMasmohToUser/",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
            save_masmoh: save_masmoh,
            ft_user_id: ft_user_id
        },
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {
            if (data.msg == "save") {

                alert("Done");

            } else {

                alert("Error");

            }
        }
    });
}

It means that your function is not in the scope that you are calling it in. I am guessing you are calling it as a global and you have it defined in an onready block. Hard to tell with the lack of code.

You should probably be using unobtrusive code so call it with

$("#yourId").on("click", save_masmoh_user);
