Defining multiple arrays together

Question

I would like to define the following in Javascript:

var tileXml = new Array();
var tileTextAttribute = new Array();
var tileImageAttribute = new Array();
var tileNotification = new Array();

As:

 var tileXml,tileTextAttribute,tileImageAttribute,tileNotification = new Array();

I should be right. For some reason it fails in the second case, why?

No, only tileNotification will be an array, the other ones will be undefined variables. — Dr.Molle

No you cannot do that, instead to this

var tileXml = [],tileTextAttribute = [],tileImageAttribute = [],tileNotification = [];
