JavaScript / Jquery - variables inside functions (global)

Hi E's, I need to know how I can use a variable created inside function and use them out side function.
I have this code:

    $("#b_ocultar").click(function(){
        $("#logo").fadeOut(500);
        $("#b_ocultar").fadeOut(500);
        $("#cabecalho").delay(500).hide(500);
        var ocultar = 1;
    });

Open in new window

What I have to do for I can use variable "ocultar" outside the function?
I try to found in Internet for Global variables but I thing JavaScript don't have.

The best regards, JC

Just a quick note FWIW...

When you declare a global javascript variable as suggested in the accepted solution it is added to the window object anyway:

 var ocultar = 1234;

    $("#b_ocultar").click(function(){
        $("#logo").fadeOut(500);
        $("#b_ocultar").fadeOut(500);
        $("#cabecalho").delay(500).hide(500);
       alert(window.ocultar); //Will display 1234
    });
