How is data passed to anonymous functions in JavaScript?

Question

When I pass \'this\' to an anonymous function like so:

MyClass.prototype.trigger = function(){
    window.setTimeout(function(){this.onTimeout();},1000);
}
         


        

Answer 1

you will have the same problem if inside your new method: newRequest you have to use a "for" or a "while" statement. Another solution could be creating a closure:

like that:

$.getJSON("answer.html",{},(function(me){return function(data){me.gotAnswer(count);}})(this));
