Question

Maybe a closure is my solution? Not exactly sure how to pull it off though.

The code is set up like so:

var globalVar = '';
var globalVar2 = '';

function func()
{
   if (condition)
     func2(globalVar) 
   else 
     func2(globalVar2)
}

In func2() I cache some HTML in a main container into the appropriate global variable that I pass to it. Basically I have a main container that holds different pages depending on what tab they choose. For performance I want to cache the page into global vars so I need to know what tab is active to figure out which global var to assign the HTML to.

Answer 1

as globals are just properties of the window object in javascript, just pass "globalVar" or "globalVar2" and assign it using window[myvar] = ...
