[javascript-dev] Re: Global variables in .js

Yes, that seems to be correct although somewhere I think the documentation
says that variable can be know by ALL .js objects in the patch and not just
instances of a particular file.  Is this true?

Can you declare a global variable without giving it an initial value or
initialize only when the first instance is loaded?
