Question

I am struggling with methods in JavaScript.

  obj = function(){
    this.getMail = function getMail (){
    }
//Here I would like to run the get mail once but this.getMail() or getMail() wont work
    }


var mail = new obj();
mail.getMail();

How do I make the method in a way that I can run it both inside the object and from the outside

Thanks

When you define the function use the name just once, like this:

obj = function(){
  this.getMail = function(){
    alert("bob");
  }
}

Now you can use this.getMail() in there, you can see a working example here.
