Just trying to get the response function to show json data returned from DbaseBakup.php. I knew it might not work but I tend to develop my scripts a little at a time since I'm not very experienced with Javascript/jquery.

<script type="text/javascript" >   bakups.onchange=function () {   var x=document.getElementById("bakups").selectedIndex;	var mychoice=document.getElementsByTagName("option")[x].value	   		var is_sure=window.confirm("Are you sure you want to bakup "+ mychoice);	if (is_sure) { 						$.post("DbaseBakup.php", {'mybak': mychoice} , showData, "json");						showData(data) {alert(data)}    // syntax error missing ;	//			showData(retdata) {    // ditto//				alert(retdata);		//			}			//window.alert("OK, you backed up "+mychoice);		return 	false;	}	else {		alert("do something else");		return 	false;	}	}</script>

The code above is what is causing me fits.

Error is:

Timestamp: 09/17/2013 03:35:27 PMError: SyntaxError: missing ; before statementSource File: http://localhost/DB-Web/testonly/DbaseRestoreTest.phpLine: 53, Column: 21Source Code: showData(retdata) {

Any help apperciated.
