To declare JavaScript global variables inside function, you need to use
window object
. For example:
window.value=90;
Now it can be declared inside any function and can be accessed from any function. For example:
function m(){
window.value=100;//declaring global variable by window object
function n(){
alert(window.value);//accessing global variable from other function
