How can I keep the context of 'this' in jquery

Question

I have something like this:

var Something = function(){
  this.render = function(){};
  $(window).resize(function(){
    this.render();
  });
}

The solution you found is the the one most people use. The common convention is to call your tempThis variable "that."

var Something = function(){
  this.render = function(){};
  var that = this;
  $(window).resize(function(){
    that.render();
  });
};
