title: Javascript - How do you call a function inside a class from within that class?
body: <p>I am trying to call the function MyMethod from within a object but none of the syntax below works.
  There must be a really obvious error below but I can't see it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  
     &lt;script type="text/jscript"&gt;
  
       function MyObject() {
  
         //how do I get one of these to work??
         this.MyMethod; //does not work
         this.MyMethod(); //does not work either
         MyMethod(); //does not work either
  
         this.MyMethod = function () {
           alert('It works');
         }
       }
  
       var test = new MyObject();
  
     &lt;/script&gt;
  
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
