Hi, I've been trying to understand a little tidbit of jQuery here...
Lets say we define an object in the Document ready method:
$(function(){
var
it's local to that event
if you need it globally
var pen = {};
$(function(){
pen = {
type: Ballpoint,
color: blue,
hasInk: true
}
});
would allow you to reference pen from anywhere in your code

var pen =
{
type: Ballpoint,
color: blue,

javascript closure
and you will find all sorts of information about closures.
It really has nothing to do with jQuery or the DOM. Closures are part of the
core JavaScript language and work in any environment where JavaScript is
Thanks Mike, I generally understand closures and your explanation was
very good.
I think what your saying is that the example pen object is just a
local variable to the ready callback.
Thanks for clearing that up...

Actually, thanks to everybody for the replies.
I think you were all basically saying the same thing in different ways
come to think of it...
