how can i define a string array variable that an entire html document will be able to see, i.e. a global variable, that all functions can use, etc.

Please?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by "an entire HTML document will be able to see", but if you paste this code above the <BODY> tag, the array will be available anywhere on the page:

<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript">
var WeekdayNames = new Array('Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday');
</SCRIPT>

Just declare your variable outside of any function, and it's global.

You may place the variable outside the function.
or place it inside a function but do not var it

var isVisible = "" (var is not necessary)

function func(){
var notVisible="xx";
isVisibleToo = "xx"
}
