jQuery plugin - How to pass a parameter

Question

I have this plugin that should receive an integer as a parameter

('foo').myplugin(3);

How do I pass the parameter to the plugin function?

I have tried something like this -

$.fn.myplugin = function(int){
alert(int);  
}   //suppose to alert "3"

yet, it doesn't seem to work

Answer 1

You need $ at the start of your statement:

$('foo').myplugin(3);
