I need to get the value of inputScore currently held in the extractVariable function into the assignValue function (this function gives the value of inputScore to an Index.html page). I tried to store inputScore in a global object to solve scope issues, but inside assignValue the global.scoreValue variable is undefined. How can I get inputScore into assignValue please? New to programming - any help appreciated. Thanks.
global = {};
function extractVariable(inputScore) {
global['scoreValue'] = inputScore;
};
function assignValue() {
document.getElementById("inputScore").value = global.scoreValue;
};
Thanks for everyone’s help. I am so close to solving what I need to do. The issue seems to be getting inputScore into the Index.html page. I should have posted all of my code in the first place. Apologies. index.html is a separate file, which has a link to the javascript file (Game.js). I have tested the link and it is working. When a button is pressed in Game.js, index.html loads, reads the assignValue function in Game.js, and inserts the players score (inputScore) into an input value in a form. At the moment all that is being inserted into the form is:
I cannot figure out why it is not working. I have included code from both files below. Any help is once again appreciated.
Game.js code:
function extractVariable(inputScore) {
return inputScore;
};
function assignValue(inputScore) {
document.getElementById("playerScore").value = inputScore;
};
var CrystalRunner = CrystalRunner || {};
CrystalRunner.GameState = {
init: function() {
//...code here
},
create: function() {
//...code here
},
update: function() {
//..code here
//check if the player needs to die
if(this.player.top >= this.game.world.height) {
this.gameOver();
}
},
gameOver: function(){
//..code here
this.updateHighscore();
//..code here
},
updateHighscore: function(){
this.highScore = +localStorage.getItem('highScore');
if(this.highScore < this.myScore){
this.highScore = this.myScore;
this.inputScore = this.highScore;
this.submitScoreButton = this.game.add.sprite(this.game.world.centerX-135, this.game.world.centerY+100, 'submitScoreButton');
this.submitScoreButton.events.onInputUp.add(function() {
window.location.href = "index1.php";
}, this);
extractVariable(this.inputScore);
}
localStorage.setItem('highScore', this.highScore);
},
};
Index.html code:
<?php
require_once 'dbconnect.php';
?>

I have done the following changes, I think a solution is at hand. In Index.html I changed the following line by removing inputScore:
<body onload="assignValue(extractVariable())" class="bg" >
In Game.js I find that if I hard code a value into the extractVariable function (see below), the hard coded value is passed into the value attribute of the <input> tag in Index.html which is what I want it to do. However, I still cannot figure out why this only works with a hard coded value?
function extractVariable(inputScore) {
inputScore = 27; //hard coded value works. Why?
return inputScore;
};
function assignValue(inputScore) {
console.log(inputScore); //this console.logs the hard coded value from
//extractVariable like it should do
document.getElementById("playerScore").value = inputScore;
};
