function templates

Hi, i am new to templates and i cant get my first function template working. Here is the code:

#include <iostream.h>

class a {
public:	
	template <class T> void function(T arg);	
};

template <class T> void a::function(T arg) {
	cout << arg;
}

int main() {

	a A;
	A.function(5);

return 0;
}

I guess that the error is in declaration of function() but i dont know what is the correct way. Compiler tells me that it failed to specialize function template 'void __thiscall a::function(T)' [edited by - stezka on July 20, 2003 12:07:05 PM]
