        {



        });

    });

});

}

Answer 1

You can do this two ways.

Option 1

You can define those variables outside of both functions like:

var radio;
var fname;
getdata() {
    radio = document.getElementsByName("radiobuttonlist1");
    fname=document.getElementById("Firstnametxt").value;
    // VALUE UPDATED HERE
}
sendinfo() {
    // VARIABLE ACCESSIBLE HERE
}

And then whenever the values of those variables is updated it will be updated at the scope those variables were initially defined (outside those functions).

The scope of a javascript variable is within the curly braces {} that variable is in and any curly braces within that set. Scope in javascript often refers to those curly braces {}. There are exceptions including the if statement in which you can define variables inside of and access outside (assuming the condition was true).

Option 2

Or you can pass those variables as parameters to the second function like: sendinfo(radio, fname);

Passing values by returning them

You can return the values as an object literal in your getdata() function like this:

getdata() {
    return {
        radio : document.getElementsByName("radiobuttonlist1"),
        fname : document.getElementById("Firstnametxt").value
    }
}

Then do this:

sendinfo() {
    var data = getdata();
}

And then access those variables like: data.radio and data.fname.
