javascript function call

[anujgarg]

I have a javascript function creating a string and assigned into a variable named url

ie

url = http://localhost/abc/xyz/2/5/7

 

Also, This function does not return this string, as this string is further being used in AJAX incorporation.

 

Now I want to get this string in another javascript function.

 

Is it possible to do this? (As the prev function is not returning the desired string.)

Yeah, google Javascript Global Variable or use the Javascript Return function

As I said that I can't return the string from the first function as it is being used further as AJAX incorporation. In my case here, I can only use global variable, but how?

What about setting the innerHTML or value of an element in the first function, then reading that value with the second function?

 

function setURL() {

    var url = 'http://localhost/abc/xyz/2/5/7';

    getElementById('elName').innerHTML = url;

}

 

function getURL() {

  //blah, get innerHTML from elName

 

}

var myValue;
function setValue()
{
    myValue = "test";
}

function getValue()
{
    alert(window.myValue); // yup, it's "test"
}
