Why is my function not a function?

Question

I have this on my browse page:

<input type="checkbox" id="toggle_SITEID" name="@@toggle_SITEID" onclick="toggle_SITEID(this)" /> New <br />

then in my js file i have this:

toggle_SITEID = function (chk) {
    // something
}

and then I check the box, "something" will not work. I check the firebug console error message:

toggle_SITEID is not a function

So why is that?

There may be several reasons for this error:

You did not reference the script in the HTML file.
The function is not declared in the global scope, but in the inner scope.
