Putting a closure to JS Closures
<blockquote>
  <p>a closure is the local variables for
  a function - kept alive after the
  function has returned.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I'm wrapping my head around JS &amp; jQuery Closures. From the definition above my understanding is a closure allows access to variables outside a function without the
need for creating globals, eliminating the inherent risk. Is my interpretation correct?</p>

<p>As always many thanks.  </p>
