Object child, referenceing the parent or constructor?

[Bob90]

Hi, so here's the problem....

I create an object with new


new Owner();

function Owner()
{
new Pet();
}

function pet()
{
this.parent = ????????
}

How do I reference the constructors object, which is the question marks?

:)

Just pass the parent object as an argument

Using arguments when parent is already specified may cause some problems. Two variables are defined, obj.parent, and arguments[0]. They may overlap.

pet.parent I think. I'm not sure if functions are meant to be objects in this case.
If you did:

var t = new pet();
alert(t.parent)
In this case, t is the object and parent is one of it's nodes.
