Need Help with Using KM Variables in JavaScript

[jayknowstheway]

I've still been stumped by this but found this link in the forum in case anyone might have an idea on a solution:

Get KM Variable into Javascript Action

For JavaScript executed in browser contexts, Keyboard Maestro provides (read-only) access to variable names and their values by initialising a document.kmvar object. You can read its keys and values in the usual way, but you can't change KMVAR values through it.

Is the problem that km variables are "read-only" to javascript? I am trying to assign a variable from document.kmvar to a js variable in a function argument, and it looks like it's not even read. But kmvars can be read outside of an argument in a function? Sorry if it's a js noob question, I'm confused!
