The content variable even with a window in front of it, is not known to the second function that tries to use it. What am I doing wrong?

<button id="button" onclick="myFunction();">Button</div>

function MyFunction(){
window.content = "Hello";    
chi();
}

function chi() {
var MyNewVar = content;    
alert(MyNewVar);
}

http://jsfiddle.net/DN3yC/11/ works fine, select No wrap-in – Sudhir Bastakoti Feb 24 '14 at 03:23
*"What am I doing wrong? "* You are using `onLoad` instead of `no wrap` in jsFiddle. – Felix Kling Feb 24 '14 at 03:23
Here : http://jsfiddle.net/DN3yC/21/ Wrap the js in head or body tags – Ani Feb 24 '14 at 03:25

Also, you have defined MyFunction, but are calling myFunction. JavaScript variables are case-sensitive. – kiprainey Feb 24 '14 at 03:25
@Jay - In the fiddle, yes, the casing is consistent. The code sample posted has different casing for the function definition and the function call. – kiprainey Feb 24 '14 at 03:29
