javascript variable becomes ""not defined"" after next promise call

Hello Dan,

It is now working.  In fiddling around with it, I made this...

var ContinueNextTaskNow = $("continue_next_task_now", xml1a).text();               
var testContinueNextTaskNow = ContinueNextTaskNow;

into this:
var ContinueNextTaskNow = $("continue_next_task_now", xml1a).text();                
var testContinueNextTaskNow = $("continue_next_task_now", xml1a).text();

Now, the first variable... ContinueNextTaskNow is holding it's value, but the last variable (testContinueNextTaskNow ) is not.

Any thoughts as to why that might be happening?

Thanks for your effort on this...

Dean
