Increment counter unavailable outside of loop
<p>I am looping through json return values with jQuery's $.each() and adding the classes returned to their corresponding <code>&lt;div&gt;</code>'s; however the counter appears to be inaccessible for further processing outside of the immediate loop. I have tried using return's &amp; external function calls to no avail. When I alert() the counter inside the iteration, it shows up correctly; and all of the classes update properly. Any insight would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Code:</p>

<pre><code>var c = 0;
function refreshIt(){
  var page = $(".navselected").attr('id');
  var ids = $('.content div[id]').map(function(){
    return this.id;
  }).get();

  $.ajax({
    type:'POST',
    url:page + 'functions.php',
    data:{'idList[]':ids},
    dataType:'json',
    success:function(data){
      $.each(data,function(element,load){
        $("#" + element).slideUp(400,function(){
          $("#" + element).removeClass("critical ok");
          $("#" + element).addClass(load.status).html(load.number).slideDown(400);
          if(load.status == 'ok'){
            c++;
          }
          else{
            c++;
          }
        });
      });

      $('.infostatus').addClass('infook').html("There are " + c  + " errors on this page.     Kudos!");
    }
  });
}
</code></pre>
