I have this code:
var one;
$("#ma1").click(function() {
var one = 1;
})
$("body").click(function() {
$('#status').html("This is 'one': "+one);
})
and when I click the body, it says: This is 'one': undefined. How can I define a global variable to be used in another function?
Remove the var from inside the function.
$("#ma1").click(function() {
one = 1;
})
var inside the function, you created a new and separate local variable. By removing the var, you are essentially saying you want to look up the chain for a previously defined variable (in this case the global one).
If you want to make a global variable bind it to window object
window.one = 1;
var one;//define outside closure
$("#ma1").click(function() {
one = 1; //removed var
})
$("body").click(function(e) {
$('#status').html("This is 'one': "+one);
})
