hi ...

to syntax-highlight the code simply use [code=javascript] instead of [code] ...

have a look at the following working (simplyfied) example:

[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">
var txbox1=20;
var txbox2=30;
var border=1;

function show_var()
{
alert("this is txbo1: " + txbox1 + " this is txbox2: " + txbox2 + " this is size border: "+border);
}
</script>

<body onload="show_var();">
</body>
[/HTML]
this should work for you too! ... if not ... we need to know what you assign to that variables during code execution ...

kind regards

i discover the mistake i done, i am not sure why but
if i declare it without the var infront its all good.
dont know what is the reason but its true.
maybe its becuz its .php thats the only thing i can come out
but in anycase without the var in the front
all the function can see the varibles like they should
thanks for the help

hi ...

so you are saying that you don't declare the variable with the var keyword? ... could you please post an example so that we may see it? i cannot think why the var keyword should make any problem ... or do is misunderstand you?

btw. ... glad to hear you got it working ... but i'm very interested in the solution/reason for the problem ...

kind regards
