javascript - Jquery: scope in a .when .done function -

i'm trying figure out how access variable inside .when.done function. here's example:

var colviews = {     1: true,     2: true,     3: false }  $.when(  // run -when- these script loaded     $.getscript( "/mckinney_images/jquery.tablesorter.all.js" )).done(function(){      $(function(){         console.log(colviews); // how colviews variable here?     });  }); 

i have basic understanding of scope not sure how applies inside when function.

i have basic understanding of scope

good! know what scope is, how closures work , how var works.

…but not sure how applies inside when function.

simple: it's no different! yes, done callback function invoked asynchronously, doesn't change how scope works.
are getting colviews variable there (if doesn't log expected value, means overwritten elsewhere or callback never called because $.getscript failed).

$.when no magic (and in fact, in example it's not needed @ all, code works same when omit it).
