JavaScript's Associative Array / Object can't be read in functions
- by Matrym
At the very beginning of the javascript file, I have:
var lbp = {};
lbp.defaults = {
minLength: 40
};
I can successfully alert it afterwards, with:
alert(lbp.defaults.minLength);
But as soon as I put it inside a function, when I alert, I get "Undefined". What gives, and how do I avoid this? Is it absolutely necessary to pass this variable into each function, for example, by doing:
function(lbp) { alert(lbp.defaults.minLength); }
I would have thought that defining it first, it would attain global scope and not be required to be passed in?
Thanks in advance for enlightening me :)
