Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

It looks like "this" points to something else when you call "go" from the timeout. it probably points to window.

try something like this

var fn = function(){
    test.go.apply(test, []);
}
setTimetout(fn, 500);

Answer 3

+8 A:

setTimeout will execute the passed function in the context of the window, so 'this' refers to the window. Try this instead:

setTimeout(function(){
    test.go();
}, 500);
