I use var foo = 5;
to create a local variable and window.foo = 6; to create a global variable. If I thought my code would be run outside of a browser then I'd create a global object as Dmitry P suggested. This way it's very explicit when you want something to be global - otherwise you should always be using `var`. For me it's not a technical consideration - it's about readability.
