Why is arguments.callee.caller.name undefined?

Question

How come this doesn\'t alert \"http://127.0.0.1/sendRequest\"? (Available at http://jsfiddle.net/Gq8Wd/52/)

var foo = {
    sendRequest: function() {
        ale         


        

Answer 1

Putting a value in an object literal, as you're doing, doesn't affect the value at all.

var foo = {
    sendRequest: ...

The function value is only affected by the function expression, which doesn't contain a name.

             ... function() {
        alert(bar.getUrl());
    }

You need to include the name you want in the function expression itself ^[fiddle].

var foo = {
    sendRequest: function sendRequest() {
