Can I do this ?
var global = 0;
var truc = $.getJSON("events.json", function(json){
//alert("JSON Data: " + json[0].titre);
global = json;
});
I want to keep the contents of json and work with it outside the function. If it was C, I would just keep the pointer but I don't know what to do with JS
yes you can do that
global won't have a new value until the request completesI don't know the details on how json works, so I cannot say what happens in your case, but this simple test works as a simplified example on how your global variable will actually work:
var global = 0;
function callTest(arr) {
//alert("JSON Data: " + json[0].titre);
global = arr;
}
var array = new Array("w", "q");
callTest(array);
alert(global);
This means that it has something to do with how json works. One thing: Are you sure the function initialized with json is actually run before you test with alert(global) ?
