I'm trying to pass a value from my input (id=name1) to my uploadify JS in the header, but Im having bad luck. Defining a var in the existing JS stops uploadify from working.

'scriptData': { 'uploader': uploader }

Wanting to call uploader with:

var name = document.getElementById('name1').value;

from:

<input id="name1" value="" type="text" name="name1" />

Any help? Static values work and my database and uploadify.php is taking it in properly. I just can't seem to pass variables to scriptData.
