function (inForm,selected) 
{ 
//some code
}

Those are called anonymous functions. You can assign these function references to any variable. like,

var myFunc = function() {
//code here
}


and call that function like, myFunc();

If you don;t assign this function reference to any varible/object property, it's not much of use.

You normally do something like that as a JavaScript closures. Search Google for more information.
