Question

I have declared an object with variables and methods.
Here it is simplified

var myObj = {
    myTimer: null,
    startTimer: function(){
        clearTimeout(myObj.myTimer);
        myObj.myTimer = setTimeout("myObj.myFunction()", 250);
    },
    myFunction: function(){
        alert('Hi');
    }
};

After startTimer is invoked, the following errors is printed to the console

Uncaught ReferenceError: myFunction is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: startTimer is not defined

How can i solve this?

Answer 1

There was actually nothing wrong with my code, although it could probably be more pretty.

The problem was how i was calling the methods, and not within the object itself.
