@MattFletcher - where do you call drupal_add_js in your server side code ? It is possible the problem comes from there. I have a module which calls it in hook_init, and my settings are available before attach is called.

| Mar 5, 2013 at 17:08 | comment | added | Matt Fletcher | Thanks guys, worked it out myself. Until attach() is called, Drupal.settings doesn't contain my custom variables. I'll answer my own question later (not enough rep to do it before 8 hours! Bah..) | |

@AliceHeaton, thanks for your response! If I type Drupal.settings.myModule.initial_page into the console it gives my answer, but outside of the attach it doesn't seem to...

I don't see where your error is, but Drupal.settings is definitely available outside the scope of the attach function. Just open FireBug console on a Drupal 7 site and type Drupal.settings - you will see that the object exists.
