Tracking Down Global Variables
Since JavaScript automatically declares variables global if they aren't formally declared anywhere else, it's really easy to make mistakes by forgetting to declare variables that you intend to be local.
So, I wrote this function,
noticeGlobals, that checks every second whether any new globals have appeared. It invokes itself, so all you need to do is include this code in your script.
( The CodeCollapse )It works in Mozilla. I haven't checked whether it works in IE for Windows. It doesn't work in IE for mac. It works in Safari if it's the last thing in your script.I'm pretty sure it only works in Mozilla and other Gecko browsers. But as long as
you have Mozilla, that's not a problem. This is just a tool for you; you're going to remove it before publishing your script anyway.
