Hi guys, I've got a JavaScript question which has me puzzled. Can an
instance of a JavaScript object "know" the name of its instance?
That might not make any sense, so I have some quick sample code.
Consider the following:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
customObject = function()
{
}
customObject.prototype.whoAmI = function()
{
return 'My instance name is ' + ??;
}
myObject = new customObject();
alert(myObject.whoAmI());
</SCRIPT>
What would I need to replace the "??" with to make the output say "My
instance name is myObject"?
this.something??
I don't even know if this is possible, but in theory I might have
several instances of the same object in the page and I want to know if
they can be "smart" enough to know which one they are.
