Question

I\'ve been using dean edwards base.js (http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2006/03/base/) to organise my program into objects ( base.js is amazing btw, if you havent used it before

Answer 1

here is sample to to set variable visibility

function Obj(){
       this.ref = 'public property'; // this property is public from within the object

       var ref = 'private proerty'; // this property is private.

       var self = this;

        this.showRef = function(){
            alert(ref);
            alert(self.ref);
        };
    }

var obj = new Obj();
obj.showRef();
