Weird JS problem

gistfile1.js

(function() {
  var fixedAssetColumns, totalsRowTemplate;

  fixedAssetColumns = [
    {
      name: 'description'
    }, {
      name: 'date'
    }
  ];

  console.log(fixedAssetColumns); // Prints fixedAssetColumns to console (as one would expect)

  totalsRowTemplate = function() {
    return tr(function() {
      // Uncaught ReferenceError: fixedAssetColumns is not defined
      // Weird because this is ultimately nested within the same function scope and should be captured.
      return _.each(fixedAssetColumns, function(col) { 
        return td;
      });
    });
  };

}).call(this);

Why does is an Uncaught ReferenceError thrown when fixedAssetColumns is referenced in the totalsRowTemplate function? It should be bound to the variable defined in the surrounding function scope.

You haven't defined 'td' anywhere, not sure if that's the problem you are hitting but it would definitely cause a problem somewhere.

Forget the td, I trimmed things down to make a smaller example and left in some stuff by accident. I'll edit it out.

Was nothing to do with my JS. It was CoffeeKup converting a function back to a string, and reevaluating in different context thus losing the closed-over variables. Thanks for taking the time to look though :)
