You are probably assuming your code is running in the global scope. It's
actually being wrapped in a closure. If you want to create a global
variable or function you need to do so by adding it to the window object.
The old way:
var myVar = 1234;
function myMethod() { alert( 1234 ); };
The new way:
window.myVar = 1234;
window.myMethod = function() { alert( 1234 ); };
