I am new to Javascript. I am facing a problem with global variables. I can't figure out that why the global variables are not working as the code looks ok. Please Help me solve this problem.
I will breifly explain the code first.I have some text on a page which changes to text field when clicked. When I define the variables inside the functions body the code starts working fine. When these variables are
defined globally as in the following code, the console displays this error: the variable is not
defined. Here my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Span to Text Box - Demo - DOM</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var textNode = document.getElementById('text');
var textValue = textNode.firstChild.nodeValue;
var textboxNode = document.getElementById('textbox');
var doneButton = document.getElementById('done');
function change()
{
textboxNode.setAttribute('value', textValue);
textNode.style.display = 'none';
textboxNode.setAttribute('type','text');
doneButton.setAttribute('type','button');
}
function changeBack()
{
textNode.firstChild.nodeValue = textboxNode.value;
textNode.style.display = 'block';
textboxNode.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
doneButton.setAttribute('type','hidden');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="text" onClick="change()">Click me!</p>
<form onSubmit="return false;">
<input type="hidden" id="textbox" />
<input type="hidden" id="done" onClick="changeBack()" value="Done" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Please Help!
Thanks in Advance.
