I'm having difficulty referencing this from within a javascript inline function, within an object method.
var testObject = {
oThis : this,
testVariable : somestring,
init : function(){
console.log(this.testVariable); // outputs testVariable as expected
this.testObject.submit(function(){
var anotherThis = this;
console.log(this.testVariable) // undefined
console.log(oThis.testVariable) // undefined
console.log(testObject.testVariable) // outputs testVariable
console.log(anotherThis.testVariable) // undefined
}
}
How do I access this.testVariable from within the submit function?
I'm also using jQuery as well, if that makes a difference.
I wonder if this is the best approach - and maybe I should have submit as a separate function, and then reference that inline, like:
init : function(){
this.testObject.submit = this.submitForm;
},
submitForm : function(){
// do validation here
console.log(this.testVariable) // outputs testvariable
.
.
.
return valid;
}
But this didn't seem to work either - and I think I'd just like to keep the submit function inline within my init method for now.
