jQuery variable saved as JavaScript var unexpected behavior -


in script had following:

$('#image-slider').empty(); 

which emptied image slider element in application.

i wanted move directly using id references in function declared variables @ top of script including:

var globals = []; globals.markup = []; globals.values = []; globals.markup.image_slider = $('#image_slider'); 

however when call:

globals.markup.image_slider.empty(); 

the slider not emptied.

any ideas i'm doing wrong?

edit:

a full example:

$(document).ready(function(){   var projects = <?= $json; ?>;   var globals = [];   globals.markup = [];   globals.values = [];    globals.markup.title = $('#title');   globals.markup.image_slider = $('#image_slider');     function load_project(f)   {       var potential = window.location.hash.substring(1);        $.each(projects, function(i, project){            if (project.permalink == potential)           {               // manage stats , fields               $('#title').text(project.title);               $('#agency').text(project.agency);               $('#description').text(project.description);               $('#website_url').attr('href', project.website_url);                // manage images               globals.markup.image_slider.empty();     ..... 

edit: idiot. simple typo. image_slider should have been image-slider .. bad.

it looks variable initialization script runs before element created, hence jquery collection that's assigned globals.markup.image_slider empty. need put code domready script:

$(function() { globals.markup.image_slider = $('#image_slider'); }); 

update: code sample, looks did that. try moving later - "load" event ( $(window).bind("load", ...); ) - or check logic ensure element rendered document , not dynamically created later in "load_project" somewhere.
