MooTools/JavaScript variable scope
- by 827
I am trying to make each number displayed clickable. "1" should alert() 80, "2" should produce 60, etc.
However, when the alert(adjust) is called, it only shows 0, not the correct numbers. However, if the commented out alert(adjust) is uncommented, it produces the correct number on page load, but not on clicking.
I was wondering why the code inside addEvents cannot access the previously defined variable adjust.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var id_numbers = [1,2,3,4,5];
for(var i = 0; i<id_numbers.length; i++) {
var adjust = (20 * (5 - id_numbers[i]));
// alert(adjust);
$('i_' + id_numbers[i]).addEvents({
'click': function() {
alert(adjust);
}
});
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="i_1">1</div>
<div id="i_2">2</div>
<div id="i_3">3</div>
<div id="i_4">4</div>
<div id="i_5">5</div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks.
