How to access a prototype's parent this from within a method's function

Question

I have this class/function

function Menu()
{
  this.closetimer = 0;
  this.dropdown = 0;
}

Menu.prototype.menuTimer = function()
{
  this.closetimer = setTi         


        

Answer 1

Another way is to bind the inner function.

Menu.prototype.menuTimer = function(){
 this.closetimer = setTimeout(function(){
  this.menuClose();
 }.bind(this), this.timeout);
}

Menu.prototype.menuTimer = function(){
 this.closetimer = setTimeout(this.menuClose.bind(this), this.timeout);
}
