The first problem in your jsfiddle is that self is a local variable for Constructor and it is not available outside of the function. What you think about the following code:

    var self = this;
    self.name = name;
    self.value = value;
    self.someHandler = function(e) {
        e.target.innerHTML = self.name + self.value; // self undefined    
    }
    return self;
};

var myObject = Constructor('myName', 'myValue');
document.getElementById('myDiv').onclick = myObject.someHandler;
