Question

I need a prototype done in this way:

Array.prototype.getname=function(){ [...]return arrayname; }

So I can:

z=new Array;
alert(z.name);

and I should have “z” in the alert.

I’m working on Chrome and caller/callee seem to return empty.

So For now the best answer is Elijah’s

More generally:

Object.prototype.getName = function () { 
  var prop; 
  for (prop in self) {
     if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(self, prop) && self[prop] === this && self[prop].constructor == this.constructor) { 
       return prop; 
     } 
  } 
  return ""; // no name found 
};

I wonder if there are better solutions.
