onclick() in html not finding f() in external .js

[J Spence]

Hello,

I'm running a test and I'm getting the following error:

"TypeError: jlsTest.Widget.Submit is not a function"

describe("Testing: Submit Button...", function() {

   beforeEach(function() {

      setFixtures('<form id="my-form"></form>');

      appendLoadFixtures('jlsTest-One.html');         // Contains the onclick

      var spyEvent;

   });

   it ("should invoke the lastNameButtonId click event.", function() {

      spyEvent = spyOnEvent('#lastNameButtonId', 'click');

      $('#lastNameButtonId').click();

      expect('click').toHaveBeenTriggeredOn('#lastNameButtonId');
   });

});

<button id="lastNameButtonId" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="jlsTest.Widget.Submit()">Submit</button>

For some reason the function isn't being found. I believe this is true because I copied the function from 

the external javascript file and inserted in the html file between <script> tags and it worked.

My SpecRunner includes the js file along with other js files that I have run other successful tests. 

For example:

it("Symbol should be AOUE", function() {

      expect(jlsTestPeopleInput.symbol).toBe('AOUE');

});

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my function isn't being found?

Thank you,

JS.
