How to pass context in jQuery ajax callback functions

Question

var Box = function(){ this.parm = {name:"rajakvk",year:2010}; Box.prototype.jspCall = function() { $.ajax({ type: "post", url: "some url", success: this.exeSuccess, error: this.exeError, complete: this.exeComplete }); } this.exeSuccess = function(){ alert(this.parm.name); } } 

I do not get the Box object inside the exeSuccess method. How to pass Box object inside exeSuccess method?

Answer 1

Use the context parameter, for example:

  $.ajax({ context: this, type: "post", url: "some url", success: this.exeSuccess, error: this.exeError, complete: this.exeComplete }); 

The context parameter determines which context callback is called from ... so it determines that this refers to this function.
