Recently I have been working on projects that involve classical inheritence in JavaScript and also use window/document methods which requires me to manage the ‘this’ binding more closely. I encountered a situation where call/apply would not help, so I came up with a quick strategy that will hopefully help someone else out there.
When trying to run something like:
{syntaxhighlighter brush: jscript;gutter: false; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }setInterval(“this.myFunc()”, 1000);{/syntaxhighlighter}
Try the following instead:
{syntaxhighlighter brush: jscript;gutter: false; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; }var ptr = this;
setInterval(function() { ptr.myFunc() }, 1000);{/syntaxhighlighter}
