Yes. This isn't Stackoverflow, you can't edit posts once they are posted so publishing wrong answers means that others need to post corrections in addition to the correct answer. For the record: objects don't have a special *this* property, functions do (strictly, it is a property of the function's variable object). A function's this variable is set *by the call* and depends on the type of code being executed. It can be any object in ES 3 and also null or undefined in ES5 strict mode. -- Rob -- To view archived discussions from the original JSMentors Mailman list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To search via a non-Google archive, visit here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]
