Earlier, when we covered local variables,
how do you make a variable declared inside a function usable elsewhere?

Do you remember?

The answer is in the example below. :)




<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ko" lang="ko">




<head>


<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8" />




<title> User-defined Functions 3: Global Variables 3 </title>


<meta name="description" content="">




<script type="text/javascript">


//<!CDATA[




function chk1()


{


i=10; // dropping var makes it a global variable


alert(i);


}




function chk2()


{


i=i+1;


alert(i)


}






//]]]]]]>


</script>




</head>






<body>




<p><input type="button" value="Button 1" onclick="chk1()" /></p>


<p><input type="button" value="Button 2" onclick="chk2()" /></p>




</body>




</html>
