When I call a function, a local scope is erected for that call. Is there any way to directly reference that scope as an object? Just like window is a reference for the global scope object.
Example:
function test(foo){
var bar=1
//Now, can I access the object containing foo, bar, arguments and anything
//else within the local scope like this:
magicIdentifier.bar
}
Alternately, does anyone have a complete list of what is in the global scope on top of custom variables?
Background: I'm trying to get down to a way of completely shifting to global scope from within a function call, the with statement is a joke, call works a little better, but it still breaks for anything declared in function scope but not in global scope, therefore I would declare these few cases in global scope, but that requires me to know what they are. The IE function execScript makes a complete shift, but that only solves the problem for IE.
Note: To anyone loading JavaScript dynamically, setTimeout(code,1) is a simple effective hack to achieve global scope, but it will not execute immediately.
