A question about John Resig's Simple Javascript Inheritance.

Question

I'm using this simple code: http://ejohn.org/blog/simple-javascript-inheritance/
Using this "library", I made this simple class:

var Person = Class.extend({
  init: function(openningSentence) {
    this.say(openningSentence);
  },

  say: function(words) {
    alert(words);
  }
});

The problem with this class, is that I can't call a function using the variable "this" (line 3 in the code gives an error: unknown method "say").

Does anybody knoes if there's a solution for this problem?
Btw - I'm using jquery, so if there's a jquery-based solution It'll be great :)

Answer 1

How are you calling the function?

var p = new Person();

Does that give you the error?

Answer 2

Ohh, That suddenly worked. But in my real class (not test) it doesn't works :P

Answer 3

Here is a short, self contained example - http://jsfiddle.net/JgMFE/. You can see that it works fine using the code you provided along with:

(new Person("Hello"));

​ It alerts "Hello", just as intended.
