How to refer to object in JavaScript event handler?
- by George Edison
Note: This question uses jQuery but the question has nothing to do with jQuery!
Okay so I have this object:
var box = new BigBox();
This object has a method named Serialize():
box.AddToPage();
Here is the method AddToPage():
function AddToPage()
{
$('#some_item').html("<div id='box' onclick='this.OnClick()'></div>");
}
The problem above is the this.OnClick() (which obviously does not work). I need the onclick handler to invoke a member of the BigBox class. How can I do this?
How can an object refer to itself in an event handler?
