XMLHttpRequest inside an oject: how to keep the refrence to "this"
- by Julien
I make some Ajax calls from inside a javascript object.:
myObject.prototye = {
ajax: function() {
this.foo = 1;
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open('GET', url, true);
req.onreadystatechange = function (aEvt) {
if (req.readyState == 4) {
if(req.status == 200) {
alert(this.foo); // reference to this is lost
}
}
}
};
Inside the onreadystatechange function, this does not refer to the main obecjt anymore, so I don't have access to this.foo. Ho can I keep the reference to the main object inside XMLHttpRequest events?
