Passing 'this' to an anonymous function in an event listener
Hello!
I'm working with nested functions and trying to pass a 'this' value to an anonymous being used in an assignment for an event listener. Here's the basics of my code:
Code:
<div id='abc'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var abc = function () {
this.myFunction = function() {
var myObj
myObj = document.createElement("input");
myObj.setAttribute("type", "button");
myObj.setAttribute("value", "Click Me");
myObj.addEventListener("click", function () {
this.doDing();
}, false);
document.getElementById('abc').appendChild(myObj);
}
this.doDing = function () { alert('ding'); }
}
var myInstance = new abc();
myInstance.myFunction();
</script>
So, this should plop a button inside our DIV and when clicked I'd like it to run the alert-ding; unfortunately it seems to want to run the function as defined under the buttons object.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
