This is a change then? I used to have no problem declaring on one line and using it again later. If the solution is simply to leave off 'var' then so be it.
...while I was typing this I actually gave it a try: d = new Date(); d Does seem to work fine (and inspecting the DOM I found it was basically window['d']). >From what you said, it seems as if the result of declaring with 'var' and it not being available the next command is unintentional. If that is true, and since declaring without the 'var' already attaches it to the window object, why not attach it to the window when we are declaring with 'var'? Seems like an easy enough solution, and is what basically happens anyway when declaring global variables in the js files.
