Question

Javascript - How do you call a function inside a class from within that class?

Answer 1

+3 A:

There are two main problems

The MIME type is text/javascript, not text/jscript
You are defining the method after you try to call it

So:

  function MyObject() {
    this.MyMethod = function () {
      alert('It works');
    }
    this.MyMethod(); //does not work either
  }

  var test = new MyObject();

Answer 2

+1 A:

you have put the call to the private method inside the constructor of the javascript class. in that point the functions are not yet initialized

but if you initialize the object like so:

var test = new MyObject();

and then do this:

test.myMethod();

it will work.
