Understanding the Colon (":") in jQuery Code

[jeff1evesque]

I've looked all over the web, and even downloaded a http://www.pdf-search-engine.com/jquery-pdf.html" (looks very useful), but I have a very simple question.

What does the colon ":" mean from the following three segment of code-

(1.)
SplitID : function()
{
return this.attr('id').split('-').pop();
},

(2)
Slideshow :
{
Ready : function()
{
}
}

Thanks,

JL

All javascript code is essentially one giant hash table.
