I have some code that does this:
function openWindow(windowName){
timeStamp = new Date();
var timeStamp = timeStamp.getTime();
document.getElementById(window).style.display = 'block'
}
blahblahblah . . .
openWindow('order'); // calls openWindow function and sets timeStamp variable.
alert(timeStamp);
then I get error: timeStamp is undefined. Why? I defined it as a global variable within openWindow. Am I just doing this wrong?
How can I have global variables and global arrays whose value(s) can be modified and accessed by all the Javascript functions in my HTML document as well as by the HTML code?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI`m building a site with html and GIF files on one server and audio files on another. That means I have to use absolute references to the audio files.
Problem is, the site will probably dwell some day in other server(s), and may also use a different audio format. I like to be able to globally change url strings and suffixes of the referenced files.
I think I can`t use "base href" because relative references (to files that are on the local server) would be affected.
The code looks something like this:
<a onclick=document.all.music.filename="URL/FILENAME.ZZZ" ...
I like to set "URL" and "ZZZ" on a separate file.
I prefer to keep all my scripts in an external '.js' file. I am currently loading the external '.js' file from the header. Problem is I would like to declare a global variable in the external file, but I keep getting an error about the object does not exist.
Can someone tell me where or how to declare a global variable in an external file that is available after the page is loaded.
Is there a way to "pass" an XMLHttpRequest object to the callback
function for onreadystatechange? Or a way to access it from
onreadystatechange? I would like to avoid the use of a global
variable...
Example:
/* How do I get rid of this global variable? */
xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
function myFunc()
{
...
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = myCallBack;
...
}
function myCallBack()
{
if (xmlHttp.readyState != 4)
{
return;
}
...
}
Any ideas?
Suppose I have global variables: x1, x2, x3
and I have a function that needs to assign a value to a new global variable
x4
something like
function foo ()
{
count = 0;
do {
count ++
varname = 'x'+ count
} while (globalExists (varname)
eval ( varname + ' = "I am new in the x-series" ' )
}
how would the function globalExists () be implemented ?

without first calling the other function that actually assigns values, it still works. As I said, though, if I assign values outside that function, then it all falls apart.

i am having two global variables and i m setting their values on calling some function. After setting the values, i call a function in an object ...
if MyHint is an object and i am calling the function in it, but i am getting the values of global variables as undefined in the function of object MyHint. Is there any way to access the value of the global variables.
I'm new to javascript, but I need help and really hoping for a reply. I was trying to find an answer in Google but no result. So I have two table containing images, at the beginning only first table is displayed. Then when one of the images in the first table is clicked, a second table should appear, and user should click one of the images on that table. And that image should replace the one that was clicked originally in the first table.
So the question is, when the user clicks an image in the second table, how do I know what was originally clicked in the first one? I tried to use global variable but that doesn't work.

i have this problem in passing values to a variable in a jquery function.
i have a js variable that accepts a certain value and then i want to pass this variable in the jquery function.
For example, this is my script:
var autoScrollBool = "true"
var autoScroolInt = "10" (seconds)
stepcarousel.setup({
[Code].....
i want to replace the value of autostep: {enable:true to enable: utoScrollBool(the variable i created) , when i tried to assign it as is, its not working.
I have an HTML page which loads another page inside an IFrame. Each of the two pages has its own javascript code.
I would like to be able to define one global variable which will be accessed from functions in both scripts. The variable must be single. That means that if a script in one of the pages changes it, the change will be seen by the scripts in the other page.
I have an external js file used by an html page but I want to use global variables defined in the html page in the js file. for example...
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript"
var test = "1";
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="jscript.js">
</SCRIPT>
</head>
So I have var test which is defined in my .html but my jscript.js also uses the variable. I am doing it this way because I have a lot of pages that are simular using the jscript.js functions but each page has different quantities and values of variables used.
I'd like to move the global variables vertexBlaBuffer to the scope of the Geometry prototype [code]...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a function displayResults(imageArray); that first calls removeElements(); to get rid of the currently displayed list items. Both functions are part of class function eventBox(array, string, date). both displayResults(imagearray); and removeElements(); have been bound to eventBox(); by e.g. this.removeElements = removeElements;
However, from within displayResults(imageArray); this.removeElements(this.identifier + "eventsul"); evaluates to "undefined". Also, this.identifier called from within the function also evaluates to undefined (it doesn't in other functions). For some reason I can't access global functions and variables from displayResults(imageArray);. Any ideas?
Here is the code for displayResults(imageArray); :
//<input type="text" id="s_field" value=""/>
var valid = true;
var div = $("#s_field");
$.post("index.php",{id: 6}, function (data){
[Code]..
When posting data, and getting response need to set valid to false - email is not valid.
1. in function it alerts valid is false
2. outside function it says valid is still true!
even i didn't wrote var valid = false;, but valid = false;I need to set Global "valid" variable to false.

I'm looking for a global array to store various integers in.
In IE and FF I always used this:
window[test] = 65;
This worked fine in FF and IE, but safari doesn't play ball.
I'm not sure if window[] is a special reserved array in those browsers, since I didn't even initialize it before using it, it just worked 'right out of the box'. Anyways, I tried going:
var window = new Array();
AND
var window = [];
but safari won't budge. Whenever I add values to the array, and try to do something with those values, safari says its not declared/undefined. What am I doing wrong?
I've created a site where the pages generally contain a table of
contents (site map) down the left side. When each page loads, the
first function is called. The second function populates a global var
(array) of all the links.
I try to avoid using global variables, but I am stumped how to
eliminate this one (TocLinks) because other functions need to iterate
through it. I think the answer is to create a custom object that the
other functions can access. But I need some pointers on how to
proceed.
Here's the function that the pages call initially and the 2nd function
that it calls:
Say I have script that looks a bit like this:
Array.prototype.getValue = function(ind, dir) {
if (dir !=0) ind[ind.length-1] += dir;
// more script
}
screens = [...// a big array
fnd = [1,2,3];
// 1.
a = findStart(fnd);
// 2.
b = findEnd(fnd);
findStart = function(cs) {
return screens.getValue(cs, 1);
}
findEnd = function(cs) {
return screens.getValue(cs, -1)
}
As I go from 1. to 2. the value of fnd changes. I don't understand how a
locally scoped variable might be affecting a global one.
