I am writing an object that gets data using AJAX and shows it in <DIV> Also this object must provide refresh method so data can be easily refreshed.
Here is my implementation function GetD(tb) { $this = document.getElementById(tb); var obj = new MyData($this); return obj; } function MyData(tb) { this.init(tb); } MyData.prototype = { init : function (tb){ this.div = tb; this.refresh(); }, refresh: function(){ var tb = this.div; $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'Default.aspx/Fetch', data: "{}", contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8', dataType: 'json', success: function(result) {Populate( tb, result);} }); } } function Populate (tb, result) { tb.innerHTML = result.d; } and the actual use: <div id="test"></div> <script> var o = GetD('test'); ...blablalba..... o.refresh(); </script> Question: Is is possible to move Populate into MyData object? PS: I realize that the whole thing does not make much sense but since I have trouble fully understand how 'this' and objects work in JavaScript I am doing this as an exercise. Thanks George.
