Its much too broad of a question to give a black and white answer. Globals are useful in some narrow situation but should be used with caution to avoid poluting the namespace.

Global variables have slow performance because they live in a highly-populated namespace. Not only are they stored along with many other user-defined quantities and JavaScript variables, the browser must also distinguish between global variables and properties of objects that are in the current context. The down side is this convenience slows down code that uses global variables. Sometimes global variables also have higher performance, like local function variables, if you declare them explicitly with the var keyword. An example is var d = document, instead of d = document, but it's not reliable. Mysterious behavior that works sometimes but not always is a danger sign, and I feel more comfortable using local function variables.

Then they wouldn't be global now would they?

I didn't have a question. I do know though, do you know the difference between the meaning of local and global?

Stop it, the pair of you. There is no excuse for this form of behaviour in the forums. Please refrain from these attacks - they are not clever.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.
Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads
