How to avoid global variables in WordPress
I've had a few instances now in which I create, say, a variable with css called
.slider
and it affected alot of stuff on my page.
How do I avoid this?
Also, I've written alot of JavaScript in a plugin, and ended up doing changes to global variables.
Is there a way to avoid this? All of the sudden all the images might change on a page, or something in the javascript code changes stuff on the page.

It seems that your code looks like this:
var my_global_var = 123;
function do_something_with_vars() {
// ... your logic here
}
function do_something_else_with_vars() {
// ... your logic here
}
One way to avoid global variables conflict is to use anonymous functions:
The above code can be re-written as:
(function(){
var my_global_var = 123;
function do_something_with_vars() { ... };
function do_something_else() { ... };
})();
// here, my_global_var is out of scope.
