The variables in a javascript functions are indeed LOCAL variables of that
function, and exist only while the function is being executed. Moreover,
a new set of variables is created each time it happens. Thus there's practically
no use of assigning them a permanent value.

However, if you declare some global variables in the parent window's javascript
— in the form:

var myvariable;

— they will be global and exist thru the page's life span. They may be accessed
as properties of the parent page's "window" object.
