Onclick triggered when not needed

Question

Question. Why the "Pancake" works when I press on one of these elements

document.onclick = function () { if (window.i == 1) { var ctrl = true; document.getElementById('logo_text2').onmousedown = function () { ctrl = false } document.getElementById('phrase_text').onmousedown = function () { ctrl = false } document.getElementById('phrase_author').onmousedown = function () { ctrl = false } if (ctrl != false) { alert('Блин') } } }

Well, because you most likely do not understand what you have written here.
How do you think this code should be executed, what comes first, what then?

So at you ctrl is declared through var in functions (therefore - it is unavailable from the outside), and you try to reach it from third-party functions. Plus, onclick runs after onmousedown and has nothing to do with it.

Remove the line if (ctrl! = False) {alert ('Damn') And everything will be fine.

And we get all the same "unexpected" triggering of document.onclick every time

In short, it is necessary so:

 var ctrl = true; function ctrlf(){ ctrl=false; alert('Блин'); } document.getElementById('logo_text2').onmousedown = ctrlf; document.getElementById('phrase_text').onmousedown = ctrlf; document.getElementById('phrase_author').onmousedown = ctrlf;

Do I understand the essence?
