javascript - arguments.callee.toString() and arguments.callee.name does not return function name

Question

I\'m trying to get the name of the currently running function. From what I\'ve read, this should be possible using:

(arguments.callee.toString()).match(/func         


        

Answer 1

On firefox 3.5, Safari 5, and Chrome 6.0 you can use:

function myFunctionName() {
 alert("Name is " + arguments.callee.name );
}

myFunctionName();

You can also get the function that called the current one using arguments.callee.caller.
