JavaScript - Passing a reference to this current anonymous function

Question

window.addEventListener(\'unload\', function(e)
{
    MyClass.shutdown();
    window.removeEventListener(\'unload\', /* how to refer to this function? */);
}, false);
         


        

Answer 1

The callee property of the arguments object always refers to the called function:

window.addEventListener('unload', function(e)
{
    MyClass.shutdown();
    window.removeEventListener('unload', arguments.callee);
}, false);
