Question

I am working on google maps and I need to create an array of items. Here is my pseudo code:

<script>
var myvar=new array();

function initialize(){
   for i=1 to 10
   {  
        callAnotherFunct(i);
   }

   access myvar() here; 
}


function callAnotherFunct(i){
    myvar=array_element_i;
}

</script>

I am expecting myvar to behave as a global variable but it is not. I cannot get any values for myvar in the initialize().

What am I doing wrong here?

I am not sure what you were trying to accomplish, but I was able to make several modifications and was able to access the global variable in this example: http://jsfiddle.net/pKU6A/

var myvar=new Array(); //Array should be uppercase

function initialize(){
   for (var i=1; i < 10; i++) //incorrect for loop syntax
   {  
        callAnotherFunct(i);
   }

  alert(myvar);
}


function callAnotherFunct(i){
    myvar[i] = i; //local variable was not defined and index of array must be assigned
}

initialize(); //needed to call global function to kick it off
