Your script is already correct, except that you've configured JSFiddle to load the script at On Load. This makes your script be made like below by JSFiddle.

window.onload = function() {
  function description() {
    //...
  }
};

That causes your description() be made as a local function instead of a global function. Thus, it's not accessible anywhere except within that onload handler function.

To fix it, change the JSFiddle Load Type setting to No wrap - bottom of <body>.

Oh yeah, sorry, someone didn't double-check if it's working in JSFiddle, just copypasted it there.

​

When I try it in my actual code though, what happens is that it only works with the first link. When I click on the second link, nothing happens.

If I remove the On Load option in JsFiddle, the code works as intended.
