I want to know how can I save a value inside a jquery bind when this is inside a namespace.
var obj = obj || (obj ={
valuetosave:-1,
init:function(){
$("some selector").on("click",function(){
tmpval = I get some value here
how can asign 'tmpval' to obj.valuetosave if I can't use this because
is in the jquery scope
})
}
})
I know that neither the title or my little description is not much useful, I hope the little example can speak about my issue.
Thanks
If you want to refer to the current instance of obj
then u should use this keyword.
for example
var obj = obj || ({
valuetosave:-1,
init:function(){
var self = this; // preserver your global instance in a variable
$("#mybutton").on("click",function(){
var tmpval = 'I get some value here'
// here `this` refers to the function event instance , not obj instance
// So i am using self (which is global instance variable)
self.valuetosave = tmpval;
alert(self.valuetosave);
});
}
});
Let me know if u need more help, checkout jsfiddle link.
