you can do it like this:
EditListWidget.prototype.myFunction= function (pre,post) {
var dummy=ResetFind();
/* This function is for entries that are preceeded and followed by the
entry */
var txtarea = this.parentDomNode.getElementsByTagName("textarea")[0];
var str=txtarea.value;
and change references from myFunction() to this.myFunction()
all the best
