Question

I’m taking an existing JS library I wrote up some time ago, and trying to organize it under a common namespace…Here is an example of the technique I am trying to use:

var NameSpace = new function () {     var privateMember = [];      function privateMethod() {};       return      {                PublicMethod1 : function(arg, arg2)         {             // etc         },         PublicMethod2 : function ()         {             // etc         },         PublicMethod3 : function(arg, arg2)         {             // etc         }     };    }(); 

From what I can tell, this should work perfectly, however I get a Syntax Error on this line:

PublicMethod1 : function(arg, arg2) 

Can anyone see some obvious problem with this technique?

Answer 1

var NameSpace= function () {     var privateMember = new Array();      function privateMethod() { };      return {                    PublicMethod1 : function(arg, arg2)         {                 // etc         },         PublicMethod2 : function ()         {                 // etc         },         PublicMethod3 : function(arg, arg2)         {                 // etc         }     };    }(); 

Problem was real tricky, return and { should be on the same line apparently. Also new [] was not valid, I fixed this for you too.
