Create A New Global Variable In A Function With A Custom Name
Oct 8, 2011I am trying to create a new global variable in a function with a custom name. I need something like this:
function newVariable(name){
createVariableWithName(name);
}

I tried creating a global function to calculate the distance between 2 points.
jQuery.distance(p1, p2){
var dx = p2.x - p1.x;
var dy = p2.y - p1.y;
return Math.sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2);
};
Somewhere else within my code, I declare a new variable in order to store the value returned by the distance function.
var distance = $.distance(particle1, particle2);
However this is not working.
I have been working on a function which makes it easier for me to pull
variables from the URL. So far I have:
<script language="JavaScript">
var variablesInUrl;
var vArray = new Array();
function loadUrlVariables()
{
varString = location.search;
//removes ? from varString
varString = varString.substring(1,varString.length);
//split into array containing variable=value
variableArray = varString.split('&');
variablesInUrl = variableArray.length-1
for (i=0; i<= variablesInUrl ; i++)

I 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.
I would like to store a variable then call it back later. I have a variable on line 198
www = ''+this._ad.clickUrl+'';
And on line 321 I try
document.write(www);
I've tried so many different options, just won't work. I have even tried to call document.write(window.www);

The purpose behind this is creating a form that will work with an existing database that would normally have a text area with lots of information. I am trying to turn it into a checklist that I can run from a mobile device. The global variables woudl be used to fill in a hidden text area that would then be passed on to the database upon submission. I am trying to keep the code as compact as possible.

I am using jQuery 1.4.2 and I am trying to carry over the global variable totaltabs into my JSON callback function. The code seems to work properly, however, in my loadJSON function after the callback function loads the data, my totaltabs variable will not increment.
Here is a peak at my code.
totalItems is loaded from another function, not relevant to my example.
Code JavaScript:
var totaltabs = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){
resize();

The javascript function looks like this:
jQuery seems to be loaded correctly, as I get the alert. I don't get the tooltip, however.
What I'm trying to do, in case this is totally retarded and impossible to see, is to hover a tooltip over the clicked row instead of passing it in as a variable.
I 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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:

I 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()?

I'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.
I have two pages. In one page I am changing the value of a variable called t, in the other I am outputting it. The problem I'm having is in changing its value.
