It all depends on WHERE you declare the variable. In the first case, you were defining your var outisde of the function, which should keep its value even when the function is through running. If you declare the var inside the function, however, that variable will be destroyed when that function is through running. You really should read a tutorial or chapter on Variable Scope, and post your code here, because you're not giving us much to work with.
