Juergen,
Here's a simpler version of your example:
var myHardWorkingObject = {
prop : "I'm doing way too much stuff!!!!",
doALotOfStuff: function () {
this.doALotMoreStuff();
},
doALotMoreStuff: function () {
alert(this.prop);
}
}
When you do:
myHardWorkingObject.doALotOfStuff();
'this' is bound the way you expect it to be. If for whatever reason
you do something like:
var shortcut = myHardWorkingObject.doALotOfStuff;
When you do:
shortcut();
'this' will not be bound the way you expect it to be.
Have a closer look at Bob's notes on this:
