arguments.callee question

Question

I know it's possible to call the calling function, but is it possible to call the function calling that function. Ok ... that sounds a little confusing. Let me demonstrate:

pop.share(msg, function(response) {
    if(response) response = true;
    else response = false;
});

Basically a box pops up to ask the user to share. If the response is false I want to call pop.share ... thus displaying the popup modal forcing them to share. Ok, this is probably not good logic or practice for a live site.

I was just lying in bed and I got a though "can that actually be done". I was trying and trying with some test code and couldn't figure it out.

Edit: A do while would not work if it was a modal as it's not waiting for the users response, thus creating an infinite loop.

Answer 1

Try obsolete arguments.caller ? But since it is obsolete, it is not useful for live site.

Answer 2

尝试不要过时的arguments.callee.caller
