I'll never refuse a free beer. ;-)
On the example code, there are two other things to keep in mind:
1) Have to save away the value of arguments.callee before going into the
inner function (arguments is always bound to the innermost function);
2) If you want to actually call the function recursively *as a method of
this*, the above syntax won't work. You'll need to do something like:
MyNS.Package.prototype.myRecursiveFunction =
function(SomeComplexDataStructure) {
* var outer_fn = arguments.callee;
var outer_this = this;
*
SomeComplexDataStructure.DataPart.each( function(DataPart) {
* outer_fn.call(outer_this, DataPart);* // or whatever the args should
be
} );
}
