It appears that the scope of your callback is always going to be different from your calling function. In your case, I believe that the callback is setting the global msgArray, not the one local to the caller. Try getting rid of the var declaration in your calling function - just set it as a new Array(); See if that makes your results show up. As for handling global variables, just dispose of it when you are done. ----- I hope that I properly understood your problem and that my answer is suitably clear.

The problem I am having is that msgArray.length always equal to 0 even though when I am inside the function it has a value. Can I not return a value from the transaction success handler function? I am going to this trouble because I really hate global variables. function GetQEntryMsgsfromDB(aQEntryRecord){ var mw_db = init_core_DB(); var msgArray = new Array(); mw_db.transaction(function(transaction){ transaction.executeSql('SELECT * FROM QueueMsg Where APP_ID=? AND REFOBJTYPE=? AND REFOBJKEY=? AND TARGETXML=?;', [aQEntryRecord.appid, aQEntryRecord.refobjtype, aQEntryRecord.refobjkey, aQEntryRecord.targetXML], function(transaction, results){ msgArray = ProcessMsgDBResults(results); } , errorHandler); }); alert('returning array' + msgArray.length); } Your thoughts are appreciated.
