Question

a jQuery plugin like this:

var methods = {
    init: function(options) {
        $("#something").click(function() {
            //call method show
        });
    },
    show: function() {
        //show something around here.
    }
}

..

how can i call the method show inside the method init

Answer 1

You could use proxy(), which is like bind() only it doesn’t need a shim for where it’s not supported…

$("#something").click($.proxy(function() {
        // `this` is the same as `this` outside the function now.
        this.show();
    }, this));
