Am I correct in thinking that variable in jquery are limited in scope by their parent functions, and if I want to persist data during a particular page's lifetime (thinking of a page that will exist for a while, being updated by AJAX calls, etc) I need to put it in an input control on that page - I am wanting to store data like sort-field for an AJAX updated data grid, so that data will need to be persistent and specific to that page, but I can't find any reference to global/page variables in jquery, so I was assuming I would need to have some hidden fields onthe page in which to store this data.
Cheers MH
