Accessing an object's property from an event listener call in Javascript

Question

Below I am creating an object in Javascript. Within the constructor I am setting up an event listener. The problem is that when the event gets fired, this.prop cannot be fou

Answer 1

You could use a variable named 'me', to avoid conflict with the global JavaScript variable 'self':

function someObj() {
  var me = this;
  this.prop = 33;

  this.mouseMoving = function() {
    alert(me.prop);
  }

  document.getElementById("someDiv").addEventListener('mousemove', this.mouseMoving, true);
}
