How do you find out the caller function in JavaScript?

Question

function main()
{
   Hello();
}

function Hello()
{
  // How do you find out the caller function is \'main\'?
}

Is there a way to find out the call

Answer 1

If you really need the functionality for some reason and want it to be cross-browser compatible and not worry for strict stuff and be forward compatible then pass a this reference:

function main()
{
   Hello(this);
}

function Hello(caller)
{
    // caller will be the object that called Hello. boom like that... 
    // you can add an undefined check code if the function Hello 
    // will be called without parameters from somewhere else
}
