Answer 1

var mymethod = {  
    init: function(options){
       this.buildhtml();
    },  
    buildhtml: function(){  
       alert('build');
    }
};

mymethod.init();

This method won’t work if you’re calling init from a different context. For example:

var fn = mymethod.init;
fn(); // type error

In such a case you need to either bind the context to the function reference:

var fn = mymethod.init.bind(mymethod);
fn(); // works now

Or provide the context when you call the function:

var fn = mymethod.init;
fn.call(mymethod); // works now
