how to access a global variable from external javascript file in netscape 4.0

2 New Member
I have an external javascript file which contains a global variable - arrNames

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var arrNames=new Array();
  2. arrNames["F"]="FirstName";
  3. arrNames["L"]="LastName";
  4.  
In my html page I had given the path of this external script file as

[HTML]<head>
<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript" src="Common.js" ></script>
<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
function x()
{
alert(arrNames["F"]);
alert(arrNames["L"]);

}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="x();">
</body>
[/HTML]
This script was working fine in IE.

How can I get arrNames["F"] and arrNames["L"] in function x() in Netscape Navigator 4.08

Use integer indexes (0, 1, 2, etc.) instead of string and remove the language attribute of the script tag. You could also use an array literal instead, e.g. []

.. I have an html file with javascript functions in the <head> section that work fine when called from events or instanced as objects. When I move the functions to an external js file they don't work (timers don't run). What pitfalls are there in having "external" functions, is there a scope problem like in c?

Noob problem. I prefer to keep all my scripts in an external '.js' file. I am currently loading the external '.js' file from the header. Problem is I would like to declare a global variable in the external file, but I keep getting an error about the object does not exist. Can someone tell me where or how to declare a global variable in an external file that is available after the page is loaded.

I'm learning Javascript. I downloaded a script for study. Please tell me how the variable "loop" can have scope in the first function when it is altered in the second function? It is not defined in global space, therefore it is not a global variable, yes? Even if it was global, how would it get from one function to another? In PHP variables are copied by value. Are they copied by reference in Javascript? <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

Hello, I am wondering how to protect a global variable in a header file from external access. So I googled and found: "The keyword 'static' has two different uses, depending on whether it is applied to an external variable or function or to an automatic variable. When applied to an external variable (global) variable the scope of that variable to the file in which it is declared. This is useful to hide buffers and variables that are used...

Anyone here feel that "global variables" is misleading for variables whose scope is file scope? "global" seems to imply global visibility, while this isn't true for variables whose scope is file scope. If you have a variable whose scope is file scope in another translation unit, you have to provide a local declaration to access that variable from the other translation unit. Also, I don't see "global variable" used once in the standard....

When I control if I print messages, I usually use a global variable "int silent". When I set "-silent" flag in my command line parameters, I set silent = 1 in my main.c. I have many functions that may print some messages. foo(...) { if (!silent)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
