I simply do not get how a variable within the invoked function "textFromFileLoaded" manage to write the data to a textarea. But when i try to use it after the invoked? function code it is undefined. So as you can see i tried to copy it to a global variable mytext. Problem is when mytext is called after the function it is undefined.

That is my general understanding of programming languages that things return after the paragraph code executed. If this is not the case with javascript, i do wonder what this new paradigm called and who come up with it, because it really isn't obvious.

I guess file read and write is system calls and the code below is for some reason executed before the system actually fetched and transfered the data into the variable. ***I think that is what happens***. And at second call there is no problem because the data is already there. I even tried a dummy loop doing something before accessing mytext but it did not help it was basically a counter up to a million adding the counter values, maybe it simply was to fast executed.

Yeah i know that it indeed do sound weird, but if that is the case can you do anything about it?
