you cant do it like that taco
if you have
myListItem.onclick = "alert('hello');";
you will see the list item gets populated with the alert
if you have
myListItem.onclick = "alert(this);";
it uses the object, in your case the <li> element as what "this" is, not the
prototype object
you cant have
myListItem.onclick = alert(this);
because the alrt will run when the function is run, just like whats
happening with your function.
with your prototype, you cant just reference "this" in your function as
though it was still part of the prototype.
your onclick needs to have a reference to the prototype so it knows which
instance it needs to work with
///////////////////////////////////
<script>
function tab() {
this.instance = arguments[0];
this.tabs = new Object();
}
tab.prototype.addTab = function (label, link) {
this.tabs[label] = new Object();
this.tabs[label].label = label;
this.tabs[label].link = link;
}
tab.prototype.getName = function () {
alert(this.instance);
}
tab.prototype.writeTabs = function () {
var htmlStr = "<table><tr>";
for (p in this.tabs) {
htmlStr = htmlStr + "<td><a href=\"" +
this.tabs[p].link + "\"
onclick=\"" + this.instance + ".getName()\">" + this.tabs[p].label +
"</a></td>";
}
htmlStr = htmlStr + "</tr></table>";
return htmlStr;
}
myTabs = new tab("myTabs");
myTabs.addTab("tab 1", "index.cfm");
myTabs.addTab("tab 2", "index.cfm");
myTabs.addTab("tab 3", "index.cfm");
myTabs.addTab("tab 4", "index.cfm");
document.write(myTabs.writeTabs());
</script>
////////////////////////////////////////
just a quick example
you need to let the onclick know what its suposed to be doing.
