    escrowDetail[transactionId].payoutCondition=condition;
    escrowDetail[transactionId].escrowCompleted=false;
}

Answer 1

The default gas in web3 if it is not specified is 90k. Since each new storage modifications cost 20k with 5 storage modifications you were using more than 100k of gas.

You can add an optional last parameter with the transaction gas

escrow.initialEscrowDetail(1,"0x0",200,true, { gas: 1000000 });
