Javascript setInterval and `this` solution
- by Michael
I need to access this from my setInterval handler
prefs: null,
startup : function()
{
// init prefs
...
this.retrieve_rate();
this.intervalID = setInterval(this.retrieve_rate, this.INTERVAL);
},
retrieve_rate : function()
{
var ajax = null;
ajax = new XMLHttpRequest();
ajax.open('GET', 'http://xyz.com', true);
ajax.onload = function()
{
// access prefs here
}
}
How can I access this.prefs in ajax.onload ?
