我在WebKit HTML 5 SQL Storage Notes Demo的源代码中看到了以下内容:
function Note() {
var self = this;
var note = document.createElement('div');
note.className = 'note';
note.addEventListener('mousedown', function(e) { return self.onMouseDown(e) }, false);
note.addEventListener('click', function() { return self.onNoteClick() }, false);
this.note = note;
// ...
}
作者在某些地方使用self(函数体),在其他地方使用this(在方法的参数列表中定义的函数体)。这是怎么呢现在我已经注意到它一次了,我将开始到处看到它吗?
It's a JavaScript quirk. When a function is a property of an object, more aptly called a method, this refers to the object. In the example of an event handler, the containing object is the element that triggered the event. When a standard function is invoked, this will refer to the global object. When you have nested functions as in your example, this does not relate to the context of the outer function at all. Inner functions do share scope with the containing function, so developers will use variations of var that = this in order to preserve the this they need in the inner function.
