$.Comment = function() { this.alertme = "Alert!"; }
$.Comment.prototype.send = function() {
var self = this;
$.post(
self.url,
{
'somedata' : self.somedata
},
function(data, self) {
self.callback(data);
}
);
}
$.Comment.prototype.callback = function(data) {
alert(this.alertme);
}
When I'm calling $.Comment.send() debugger is saying to me that self.callback(data) is not a function
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you
You don't want to declare self as an argument to the success function. If you remove that declaration, you'll pick up the local variable, which is what you want. E.g.:
$.Comment = function() {
this.alertme = "Alert!";
}
$.Comment.prototype.send = function() {
var self = this;
$.post(
self.url,
{
'somedata' : self.somedata
},
function(data) { // <== removed `self` argument
self.callback(data); // <== now sees `self` local var
}
);
}
$.Comment.prototype.callback = function(data) {
alert(this.alertme);
}
You should not declare self as a parameter:
function(data) {
self.callback(data);
}
That way self will be a closure and reference the correct object within the function.
