[Javascript] Variant and typeof()

[Rodney Myers]

Carlos,

Have you now modifed this function

function Load(FileName) {
var BinFile, BinData;
...

because as that stands BinData is private within the function, which has no
return value.

And, even if there is a global var BinData this function will not change its
value - as P-PK explained.
