jquery - Global javascript variable inside document.ready

Question

Which is the right way of declaring a global javascript variable? The way I'm trying it, doesn't work

$(document).ready(function() {

    var intro;

    if ($('.intro_check').is(':checked')) {
        intro = true;
        $('.intro').wrap('<div class="disabled"></div>');
    };

    $('.intro_check').change(function(){
        if(this.checked) {
            intro = false;
            $('.enabled').removeClass('enabled').addClass('disabled');
        } else {
            intro = true;
            if($('.intro').exists()) {
                $('.disabled').removeClass('disabled').addClass('enabled'); 
            } else {
                $('.intro').wrap('<div class="disabled"></div>');
            }
        }
    });
});

console.log(intro);

If you're declaring a global variable, you might want to use a namespace of some kind. Just declare the namespace outside, then you can throw whatever you want into it. Like this...

var MyProject = {};
$(document).ready(function() {
    MyProject.intro = "";

    MyProject.intro = "something";
});

console.log(MyProject.intro); // "something"
