Passing Var from function to function

[Adamhumbug]

Hi All,

I have a function:

	function existingTags(){
		var plta = $('#peopleLinkedToArticle').val()
		 window.taggedPeople = [plta]
		console.log(taggedPeople)
	}

This console log shows the following which is correct.

Array [ "11,2" ]

I have a second function that needs to use tagged people

	function removeTaggedPeople(){
		console.log(taggedPeople)
		var e = event.target
		$(e).attr('onclick','tagInArticle()')
		var taggedPerson = $(e).data('id')

		var i = 0;
		while (i < window.taggedPeople.length) {
			if (window.taggedPeople[i] === taggedPerson) {
		  		window.taggedPeople.splice(i, 1);
			} else {
		  		++i;
			}
		}
		console.log(window.taggedPeople)
		var tp = window.taggedPeople.toString()
		$('#peopleLinkedToArticle').val(tp)

		$(e).remove()
	}

The first console log in the second function which runs on a button click also shows

Array [ "11,2" ]

Ids are not being removed from this array and i cannot figure out why

Apologies, this is mis-titled

I think the issue is that the values going into the array are strings not integers.

I used this to solve my problem

	function existingTags(){
		var plta = $('#peopleLinkedToArticle').val()
		plta = plta.split(',')
		taggedPeople = plta


		for (a in taggedPeople ) {
			taggedPeople[a] = parseInt(taggedPeople[a], 10); 
		}

		 console.log(taggedPeople)

		
	}
