Assigning Value To Global Variable In A Function?

Oct 5, 2011

how to assign a value to a global variable within a function and can't seem to figure it out. Here's my thought,

<script type="text/javascript">
var global1=""; var global2="";
function assign(vari,strng){

[Code]....

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.

Global Variable In A Function

Jul 20, 2005

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.

Global Variable Not Valid In Callback Function?

Aug 4, 2010

Code JavaScript:
var totaltabs = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){

JQuery :: Create A Global Function And Store The Return Value In A Variable?

May 15, 2011

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 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.

Assigning ResponseXML To Variable?

Apr 25, 2010

I'm trying to create a function that will return the value of responseXML so I can assign a variable to it.

Code:

ajax.downloadXml = function (url)
{
var XMLHttpRequestObject = false;

[code]....

Stepping through the function, the onreadystatechange seems to never be executed, so nothing is returned. There's probably just a fundamental I'm messing up on.

Eliminating A Global Variable

Jul 23, 2005

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:

Mar 15, 2009

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()?

function welcome(){
var x = document.getElementById("body");

Undefined Variable (global?)

Sep 21, 2006

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.
