title: How do I access javascript functions in the "object Window"
body: <p>I feel silly asking this in such a crude way, but in Firebug I see my current object (this) and below that a line then, "object Window," where the global namespaces seem to live (e.g., there's a <code>$</code> object, <code>jQuery</code> object ...). I have an object I created called "g" with a function called "Update" that lives in this global namespace (again, using that term loosely).</p>
  
  <p>Am I using the right terminology here? Does the jQuery object live in the "global namespace"? Furthermore, if I want to call something living here, do I just need to call, say, <code>g.Update()</code>? Would it be right to say these are the equivalent of what you'd call static variables in OO terminology?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
