extract variable from a function

davemarsh · Jun 17, 2004

Code:

function xyz(){
var d=new Date();
}

.. is it possible to extract the non-global 'd' var from that function somewhere else in my code? (the function can't return any value...)

davemarsh,

You can make a variable's scope "global" by leaving off var
like:

Code:

<html>
<head>
  <title></title>
<script>
function xyz(){
d = new Date();
}
xyz();
</script>
</head><body>
<script>
document.write(d);
</script>
</body></html>
