I'm not quite sure what you are asking.
Inside a function 'this' always refers to the global object (the
window) unless you have taken steps to make it refer to something
else. A common way to make it refer to something else is by calling
the function as a method (your 'itemManager.createHTML()'). Prototype
provides another way in Function.bind.
So if you use ItemManager.createHTML(), inside 'createHTML', 'this'
will refer to ItemManager. But as far as I can see, you are not using
'this' inside 'createHTML' anyway, so the question is irrelevant.
