this.call is not a function

For the life of me, I can't see what I'm missing. I had hard-coded the value for selectedIcon in the drawmenu function. It was working perfectly until I changed it to a parameter. I'm getting the following error:

Error: this.call is not a function

Source File: http://localhost:9090/tests/jquery-1.3.2.min.js

Line: 19

The routine is drawing a menu, while dynamically adjusting spacing between images.

It's actually a minor issue. What you were previously doing was this:

$(document).ready(drawmenu);

which passed a function. What you're now doing is this:

$(document).ready(drawmenu(6));

The 2nd way is passing the RESULT of the function instead of the function itself, and is equivalent to:

var item = drawmenu(6);
$(document).ready(item);

Try instead:

$(document).ready(function(){ drawmenu(6); });

Your problem is way down near the bottom with this line.

$(document).ready(drawmenu(6));

What your need is this.

$(document).ready(function() {
    drawmenu(6);
});

Basically instead of passing a function to .ready you're passing whatever returns from the drawmenu function.
