Question

I have the following situation:

function dog()
{
    this.name = 'Lumpy';
    this.getName = function() {
        return this.name;
    }
}

function show_dog_name(dogname)
{
    alert(dogname());
}

bigdog = new dog();
show_dog_name(bigdog.getName);

“this” not refers to “dog” object so how get parent object in passed function.

Answer 1

var that = this;
this.getName = function() { return that.name; };
