Global Variable Glitch - Can Only Access The Variable On The Second Call
Dec 9, 2011I am simply trying to use a global variable in javascript, but can only access the variable on the second call. I can't find anything that relates to this through my searches. My application is supposed to query the server for XML that tells me which years and months are available to put into combo boxes. I want to store this xml in a global variable to access it later.

Eliminating A Global Variable
Jul 23, 2005I'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:

Global Variable In A Function
Jul 20, 2005I have a .js file that receives a value from an html page. I'd like this
value to be a global variable that all functions in the .js file can use. I
have tried just declaring a var at the top of my .js file, but when the
value comes into the function and gets assigned to that variable, it is not
global.

Passing Value To Global Variable?
Mar 15, 2009I have a site that calls the function welcome() and displays a prompt. The same site also has an iframe that calls the next function, add_name(), but when the pages are loaded it says that "answer" is undefined.It says on the page, where the <p id="guest"></p> is, "Welcome undefined". How do I make it so that the value of answer, which is given onLoad of the 1st page with the prompt, is displayed as text in function add_name()?

Undefined Variable (global?)
Sep 21, 2006I'm currently coding the beginnings of a stopwatch script.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var startTime;
var currentTime;
var started = 0;
function startStopwatch() {
if (started == 0) {
var startTime = new Date();
display();
alert(startTime);
}
}
function display() {
currentTime = new Date();
difference = (Number(currentTime) - Number(startTime));
document.stopwatch.display.value = difference;
setTimeout('display()',10)
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="stopwatch">
<input type="text" name="display" readonly="readonly" size="40">
<input type="button" name="start" value="Start" onclick="startStopwatch();">
<input type="button" name="stop" value="Stop">
<input type="button" name="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The value of startTime when called from display() is undefined. I'm not sure why, as I declared the variable outside the function. The variable should be accessible by all functions, right?
Any help would be appreciated.

How To Build A Reference To A Global Variable
Jul 23, 2005I declare multiple variables halfway down the page. The number between "mech" and "Num" is generated dynamically in the XSL. Later on I need to reference that variable in a function, but I need to build the variable name in script. How do I convert it from a string reference to a ref to the global variable?
function changePreference(pos,mt){
//mt does not reference mech2Num, I need it to.
}
changePreference(2,'my' + pos + 'Num');
var mech1Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;
var mech2Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;
var mech3Num=1|2|3|4|5|6;
Can I Assign An Event To A Global Variable?
Oct 4, 2007I was wondering if anyone knew if/how to assign an event to
a global variable?
I tried to do it and IE 7 came back with an error saying "Member not
found"
My code looked similar to the following:
var globalEvevnt;
function showPopup(event){
globalEvent = event;
alert(globalEvent.type);
setTimeout(function(){unhideDiv()}, 2000 );
}
function unhideDiv(){
alert(globalEvent.type); //Member not found error found on this
line
}
I was wondering if I had declared the globalEvent = new Object();
would that make any difference? I thought everything in JS was an
object so the event could be stored to one as well?

View 4 Replies View RelatedNot Able To Access Global Variable / Enable This?
Apr 3, 2010I'm trying to populate a web page with javascript. I have 2 functions. One that runs on-load so I can populate a dropdown list. The second one to process the selection when the user selects an item from the list.
I have a global variable in the top of my javascript that I use in the functions and as long as I set it in it's global scope, everything works fine. But what I really want to do is to pass this into the javascript running on this page via the code...
My question is. Where do I put this code so that I can use it to set the global variable "weekNumber"?
I've tried putting this code in the populateList function - NOPE! I've tried referencing it via window.weekNumber and this.weekNumber - NOPE. I'm stumped.
I've spent far too many hours trying to understand this without success. Can anyone help me figure out where to put this code so I can set the global variable weekNumber?
Is there a better way to do this?
Global Form Variable Not Working
Apr 4, 2006I have defined a global variable for a form, but it seems my functions can't access it. The error I get from the Firefox Javascript console tells me that my variable has no properties. Code:

function sendForm() {
giftForm.target = 'main'
giftForm.submit();
window.close();
}
Everything runs without a hitch if I declare the form variable inside the function.
