• You can give access to other contexts via assignment. An example best illustrates this:

  var foo = '1';
  var webview = Ti.UI.createWebView({url:'foo.js'});
  webview.foo = foo;
  window.add(webview);
  

  In the above, the foo variable is assigned to the webview instance. Now, inside the webview you can reference it.

  alert(Ti.UI.currentWindow.foo);
  

  Any changes made to the variable will affect the others since they are live references.

• Hi!
  Uhm, Jeff - is it really possible to do that from inside a webview?
  I didn't think Ti.UI was available there, so i figured you'd have to pass data through an event, no? Please correct me if I'm wrong!
