Is There any way to set object property using object function? Eg:
var Object={
init: function(){
this.newParam=alert("ok");// This should alert ok while called Object.newParam()
}
}
Thanks in advance.

No it wouldn't get called as per your expectation. It would get called during the time when the object is getting initialized. And obj.newParam would have the returned value of alert("ok"), i.e] undefined.
You have to rewrite your code like below to achieve what you want,
var obj = {
init: function(){
this.newParam= function() {
alert("ok");// This should alert ok while called Object.newParam()
}
}
}
Also using name Object for your variable is a riskier one when you are in the global context.

Try something like:
var Object={
init: function(){
return {
newParam :function() {
alert("ok");// This should alert ok while called Object.newParam()
}
}
}
}
console.debug(Object.init().newParam());
Note that when init() is called it returns an object. You can use that object and invoke newParam function from that - Object.init().newParam()

I don't want that. I want to have Object.newparam in place of Object.init().newparam But I don't want to set its value manually using
newparam: this.init().newparam

ok, not sure if I understood it correctly but looks like it's something similar to stackoverflow.com/questions/1789892/…
