如何从onClick事件中调用对象函数？

Question

I have a test.html which includes tree.js.

in this HTML I have

<div id='forObj'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var obj = new Tree(document.getElementById('forObj');
</script>

Inside the Tree.js File I have a function called

this.draw
...
else
            {

                    div.onclick = function(){obj.eventFoo(this.id);};

            }

...

my Problem is: Now everyone has to refer to the Object obj, or this will not work.

How can I generalize it, so the Object can get every name the coder wants to use?

Answer 1

Just define your own obj variable with the current instance, using closure for the event listener:

… else {
    var obj = this;
    div.onclick = function(e) {
        obj.eventFoo(this.id);
    };
}
