In jslint's doc it says, "JSLint does not expect that a var will be defined in a block. This is because JavaScript blocks do not have block scope. This can have unexpected consequences. Define all variables at the top of the function." What are some of those unexpected consequences?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to access local variables like I access global ones, ie. window["hey"] retrieves the global variable "hey".

function Test(id){
this.id=id;
this.init=function(){
// some initialization go here
[code]....
This is terrible because it breaks the structure, and so many local temporary variables will be instantiated (possibly they will eat up the memmory).However, this type of reference is just so popular in jQuery, and they got a beautiful solution. Example:
$('li').each(function(){
// Do with $(this). This is beautiful, but I don't understand how could they make this scheme.
})
for some time I always found a workaround for this kind of problem. But somwhow, it feels wrong. So I'd like to know, if there's a common way to solve something like this[code]...
I'm defining the function and if the value of 'obj' hasn't until the function really gets called, this can work. But it just feels so wrong do have always global variables just to access them inside of a callback.[code]...
I have acollection of local variables populated via Flash movies and scripts, and now I need to submit an ajax post (can also be get, but prefer post). I have tried:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/myurl",
data: "p1=" + localParam1 + "&p2=" + localParam2,
success: function(msg){
alert( Bingo: " + msg );
}
});
The problem with this is the encoding of the localParam1 and localParam2 sometimes breaks the normal & delimeters. An even more problem is I sometimes haveupwards of 25+ local variables that I need to submit. These inline +s makes it feel, and look, like one huge hack - not to mention the encoding. One last restriction: I cannot use any jquery plugins due to the company's policy. So, I'm looking for something small and light as a solution - not a plug-in. Isn't there an easy way to do this? ONe thought I had was to create a new <form> on the page, and insert the variables as new <input /> fields - and then finally submit the entire form. Again, a big hack + css
I'm looking for a way to define a function that's only effective inside
specified function.
Featurewise, here's what I want to do:
bar_plugin_func = function() { ...; setTimeout(...); ... };
wrap_func(bar_plugin_func);
bar_plugin_func(); // calls custom "setTimeout"
So while plugin developer thinks s/he's calling top-level function,
I want to hook it by somehow injecting local variable with the same
name.
Simply doing something like
;(function() { setTimeout = function() { ...my custom implementation
})();
is not ideal, as that'll taint global scope. Actually, I can live with
that for now,
but it's my technical interest to find a way to define it locally.

I want to modify a local variable of the ready function set like so:
$(function () {
var modifyme = 0;

});
I cant change the code setting the ready function, as I am writing only a greasemonkey userscript. I already tried using the .data("events") method, but it never listed the "ready" event. Any function so I can modify the variable!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do i get a variable from one function into another function. I am new to javascript.
Here is my code ...
I'm trying to reuse a script I have but, I'm not able to due to the fact I can't use some variables in a function.
I would like to know why I am not able to use passed variables in javascript.
For example: I call a function submit_data( 'newDomainForm', 'add_domain', 'list_div' ), in the function itself I would like to use the form name (first variable passed) as document.form.domain_name.value.
Later on I would like to use the div id: list_div in document.getElementById( div_id ).innerHTML. This doesn't work.
I have to put the name of the actual div like this: document.getElementById( 'result' ).innerHTML
And to get the value of a form element I have to put the actual name like this:

urrently I have the user log in, choose their character, and then go to a page where they can fight random monsters. When they get to the page to fight with the random monsters, the character's information as well as the random monster's information is pulled from tables in my database.
What I would like to do is when the user clicks the Attack button, perform a function that takes the monster's hp ($hp) and subtracts from it the character's attack combat value ($acv1).
how I can access the php variables within my JavaScript code and how I can go about doing this type of calculation?
I'd like to store the monster's hp in a javascript variable, so that when the character attacks, the hp can be updated until the character has reduced the monster's hp to zero, in which case a php script should be run that updates the character's table.
is there a way in jQuery to bind variables to function calls similar as prototype.js does it? See [URL]
E.g. in the slideUp method of jQuery you can specify a callback that is called after the effect has finished. I would like to bind a variable to this call so that it is used inside of this callback as a closure.
Below is a stripped down example of code I'm using to count links in a
list. My intent with the ShowLinkNumber() function was to display the
number of the current link. (e.g. click on link 2, and the message "2"
pops up; click on link 4, and you see a "4.")
For reasons I can't trace, my function always displays the last number
in the list. Why does it do this, and can anyone suggest a way to
achieve my goal without adding markup? Code:

Im trying to do the following thing, I have a function in javascript which I want to use to call anAJAX event, during this event the variable that is set in the function needs to be passed to the file called by the AJAX event.

I want a page with a hyperlink that passes a variable to another 'pop-up' page (in this case a name, its just an example) and new pop-up page prints a message followed by the variable thats passed.

In short, I just want the pop-up page to print 'Hello there Toby' or whatever name I choose to pass across. The 'testpopup.html' url is just the initial webpage.
I have a vague idea of what might be going wrong but I have no idea what I should be doing instead. Here is what I'm trying to do: User inputs X and Y coordinates into form validate that they are numbers do a little bit of maths redirect to a php script with a single variable tacked onto the end of the url Here is the form code:

Y <input type='text' id='Y' size='1' maxlength='3'/>
<input type='submit'

I have been asked to make some changes to a form that uses Javascript for the form validation. There is a 'function' that contains the variables of the various form fields and then further code to raise 'alerts' if one of the fields on the form hasn't been filled in. My problem is that for some reason I am unable to add an extra variable to this code after the field of 'County' (this will hopefully make sense when you see the code / link...) and I am stumped as to why. I am able to add variables for all of the other required fields except for 'Postcode' after 'County'. This is the case for both forms. The link is here: [URL] and the code I am trying edit is below. The issues seems to be when I add && isPostcode() to this chunk of code:-
