Call function with “this”

Question

I have an onclick handler for an element (actually, it\'s a jQuery-created handler, but that\'s not important). It looks like this:

function handl         


        

Answer 1

The following ought to do it:

function handleOnClick() {
    if( confirm( "Sure?" ) ) {
        return handleOnClickConfirmed.call( this );
    }
    return false;
}

The call() function attached to Function objects is designed to allow this; calling a function with a desired context. It's an extremely useful trick when setting up event handlers that call back into functions within other objects.
