Passing jquery variable to another function

Question

Not sure why this isn't working, and it's returning as an object/undefined.

I have a variable outside above the doc.ready:

var video_box_original_link = '';

I have a link that I click on inside the ready function which grabs the info fine:

$(document).on('click', '.youtube_video', function(video_box_original_link){
    var my_game_name = $('a.game_title_link').attr('name');
    var my_game_platform = $('a.game_platform_link').attr('name');
    video_box_original_link = "/"+my_game_platform+"/"+my_game_name+"/videos";
});

And I have a function that I'm trying to pass to this which is also in the doc.ready down below:

$(document).on('click', '.popblock_box', function(e, video_box_original_link){
    window.history.pushState("vidPage", "vidPopped", ""+ video_box_original_link +"");
}

Is this should be fine?

The "e" is for something else in the script which is not necessary to show.

Just remove the argument video_box_original_link from the function. — user2575725

You couldn't pass variable to callback like you do like you do in function(video_box_original_link) you should define it in global scope then just use it :

var video_box_original_link = '';

$(document).on('click', '.youtube_video', function(){
    var my_game_name = $('a.game_title_link').attr('name');
    var my_game_platform = $('a.game_platform_link').attr('name');

    video_box_original_link = "/"+my_game_platform+"/"+my_game_name+"/videos";
});

$(document).on('click', '.popblock_box', function(e){
    window.history.pushState("vidPage", "vidPopped", ""+ video_box_original_link +"");
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks man, I just had some functions outside of the doc.ready that I wanted to utilize as well. All good.

You're welcome bro, outside of the doc mean they will loaded before ready function so you could just use them when the DOM is ready check example HERE.
