How do I set a variable in a function using Javascript or jQuery
<p>I need to move the data out of HTML code and load it on demand.</p>

<p>I need to do something like this:</p>

<pre><code>function processData( data )
{
   if ( data.length===0 )
   {         
      data = get data from server using Ajax or even...
      data = [['2011-06-01',1],['2011-06-02',3]] ; // just for educational purposes
   }
   else go do stuff with data ;
} 

storeData = [] ;
processData( storeData ) ; // first time storeData doesn't contain any data
processData( storeData ) ; // now storeData contains data
</code></pre>

<p>I can't figure out how to stuff the data from within the function. Is there a way of accomplishing this?</p>
