@Michal, please excuse me, I was doing a stupid error, so now I can
confirm that in fact I CAN also use a global variable without
attaching it directly to Window, like this:
var mainMenu = null;
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
mainMenu = new Menu({ menuId:'menu', type:'bar',
props:mainMenu });
});
I can then use mainMenu in any following .js file.
var mainMenu and window.mainMenu do work.
--------
ANYWAY, till now no one could tell me why it seems I MUST set up a
global variable OUTSIDE the domready event to see and use it in
following domready calls in IE6.
And why this didn't happen with mootools 1.2.0. These 2 were the
original questions.
-------
For the var/non var issues, I think that both Nutron and Steve gave
good explanation.
I think that the thing to keep in mind is that 'var' doesn't
necessarily mean 'local' or 'global'.
A little scheme:
DECLARATION OUTSIDE A FUNCTION
- with var: GLOBAL
- without var: GLOBAL
DECLARATION INSIDE A FUNCTION
- with var: LOCAL
- without var: GLOBAL
There may also be some issue realtive to vars declared in different
script tags, but I don't know, and basically don't mind. :P

Bye!
