Creating Window Objects From init()

[Geat]

I need to create an object from within the init() method (called after the page loads with onLoad), that belongs to the window object. The code:

init() {

var myMenu = new Menu();

showMenu(window.myMenu);

}

results in the error

"window.myMenu" does not exist.

I need the object to belong to window so that a new page is not invoked. Any ideas people?

[Charles]

function init() {
var myMenu = new Menu();
}

creates the Menu object as a property of the current call object while

function init() {
myMenu = new Menu();
}

creates the Menu object as a property of the window object. Rid yourself of that 'var'.
