Selection of inline scripts disappearing from one line to the other

Hello all,

I’ve been fighting around with this issue for a few days now, that’s why I’m raising this thread.

I’ve also researched the web in vain…
Maybe someone has run into something like this before…

Algorithm outline: (in the context of handling inline scripts – pseudo code)

Preconditions:

[CODE]bjss = body.find(“scripts”);
$s.t = bjss.filter(function() { return !$(this).attr(‘src’); });[/CODE]

When debugging, I can see that

$s.t correctly holds some inline scripts.

Then call another function, that does not manipulate $s.t.

In the final function call, that is supposed to handle the inline scripts,

[CODE]$s.t[/CODE]

…for some reason is empty:

[CODE]($s.t.length==0)[/CODE]

[B]How can a jQuery selection just disappear more or less from “one line to the next”?[/B]

EDIT:

[url]http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4644799/javascript-variables-are-disappearing[/url]

It could be related to the above thread, as I’m passing back inner variables of “sub-plugins” up to its clients.

But if that’s the case, I’d have to refactor the code heavily, as the same symptoms could arise anywhere it future randomly.

The way I understood garbage collection in JavaScript, as long as there is a reference to data remaining, it is not collected?

[B]What’s best practice for sharing data across function calls[/B]?

Thanks in advance and
Kind regards
