To create a global variable, you need to place variable inside the <script> </script> tag. Following is the code −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <button onclick="createGlobalVariable()">checkGlobalVariable</button> <script> var globalVariable; $(document).ready(function() { function initializeGlobalVariable() { globalVariable = [{ "name":"John", "age":23 }]; } initializeGlobalVariable(); }); function createGlobalVariable() { if (globalVariable.length) { console.log('The Global variable name is='+globalVariable[0].name+" The Global variable age is="+globalVariable[0].age); } } </script> </body> </html>
