Javascript global variable not working properly?
- by Fabian
My jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
chrome.extension.sendRequest({get: "height"}, function(response) {
height = response.value;
});
$("#id").css("height", height+"px");
});
You don't have to be concerned about the chrome.extension.sendRequest(), basically it communicates with a background page to fetch the value for "height" from localStorage and stores the value in global variable height.
The problem lies in $("#id") not being assigned the height value. However if I were to modify it such that it is now:
$(document).click(function() {
$("#id").css("height", height+"px");
});
it works. Any idea why?
