jQuery $.getScript - old functions & variables in executed script

i ex开发者_如何学JAVAecute a javascript with jQuery $.getScript. In the executed script i haven't access to the functions and variables of my source file.

Is there a solution?

The script executed by $.getScript() does have access to the global context. You can use any global variable (or function for that matter) from within your external script.

Nick Craver, I just spend 3 (!) hours obsessing over why my thing wouldn't work, and you gave me the insight I needed to make it work.

interesting to note:

you can declare a variable as a jquery var like this:

$variableName = something;

That way jquery also has access to it from anywhere in the scope.

$(function(){ 
    $alertString = 'Hello World'; 

    $.getScript('test.js', function(){ 
        // do nothing 
    });    
} 

test.js: 

alert( $alertString );
