Question

Solution:
Yay, using this.setName() worked!

Problem:
1) Didn’t know how to properly title this question
2) I am trying to call a setName() from inside of getName()

Javascript:

window.login
chat = {
    setName: function( ) {
    },

    getName( ) {
        //i want to call setName() here, is that possible?
        //i tried chat.setName() and setName(), both failed.
    }
}

Very simple question, I just am not too knowledgeable in JavaScript. Thank you for the suggestions/help/advice!

Answer 1

Use this. It refers to the current object:

chat = {
    setName: function() {
        alert('setName');
    },

    getName: function() {
        this.setName();
    }
};
