Hi all thank you for your responses and your time. My js file is correctly referenced the mistake was to put the function inside $(document).ready({
}) a function need to live outside by itself.

I hope this help other newbie

Hi,
External js must be added somewhere in your application, either in the page you are working or in layout/master page if you have any, then this function will be called without any issue.

Hope that manke sense!

It's nothing about external JS, your Jquery is always an external file isn't it , yet you are able to call or use all jquery functions from other pages isn't it ?? How ? because you give a reference of Jquery.Js to your Html page.

So , your obvious solution is to add reference of the external Js file where Detalis(id) function is defined to your Html page and everything will work.
