Global variables in Javascript across multiple files
You need to declare the variable before you include the helpers.js file. Simply create a script tag above the include for helpers.js and define it there. <script type=”text/javascript” > var myFunctionTag = false; </script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2932782/js/helpers.js”></script> … <script type=”text/javascript” > // rest of your code, which may depend on helpers.js </script>
