Hi Marcel,
You should make the dependence of myfun on x and t explicit. That's
always a good idea, but for Manipulate to work it should be able to
'see' that changing t does something to the object that is the focus
of the Manipulate construct. In addition, the Evaluate you used is not
necessary here.
This works:
myfun[x_, t_] := x^2 + 3 t x;
t = 1;
Plot[myfun[x, t], {x, 0, 2}]
Clear[t]
Manipulate[myfun[x, t]] {x, 1, 2}, {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Manipulate[Plot[myfun[x, t], {x, 1, 2}], {{t, 1}, 0, 10}]
Cheers -- Sjoerd
