Question

Here is some code:

var class = function(elem,div){

    this.elem= elem;
    this.div = div;

    this.init = function(){
        this.div.bind('keyup',this.handler);
    }

    this.handler= function(event){
        //HOW DO I GET "this.elem" ???
        //here, this = div
    }

    this.init();
}

I want to get the variable “elem” from within my “handler” function, but everytime i call this.elem, the “this” is referring to the elem that was bound to the event handler!!.

Answer 1

Well, you could just reference elem.

Or you could declare var that = this; outside of the the handler and then reference that.elem.
