pkedpker Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 how do I set a global variable for a javascript file loaded externally. Like.. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/client.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript"> var user = "pkedpker"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/client.js">var user = "pkedpker";</script> Both fail.. when I do alert('user = ' + user); inside of client.js.. I get back user = [object HTMLTableCellElement] note I did var user = "guest"; inside the file I still get user = [object HTMLTableCellElement] edit: maybe user is reserved keyword?? well..... I tried now I tried var username now and all seems to work but how should I do it? anyways code sample 1 or 2? for most browser support as possible. alright code sample 2 doesn't work anyways its stuck on guest mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
