I have an object of type Application (defined by me). Whenever an object of this type is created, it automatically loads a php file say "start.php" using jquery ajax and assign the response to a div say "Respo". Now what i want is to access the Application object from that Respo div. Unfortunately, i have no clue how to do this... in my ajax call:

  function Application(options)
  {
  .......

  var appObj=this;
  $.ajax({
   url:appObj.location,      //Already defined
   success:function(data)
   {
   $("#respo").html(data);
   }
   });
  }

Now in my Respo division i want to access that Application object... I tried: alert(this) but it resulted in an object of DOMWindow... i tried editing success function as:

  function Application(options)
  {
        .......

        var appObj=this;
        $.ajax({
         url:appObj.location,      //Already defined
         success:function(data)
         {
             $("#respo").html("<script type='text/javascript'>var Self="+appObj+"</script>");
             $("#respo").html(data);
         }
         });
  }

But i ended nowhere. :( Although if i assign "var Self='nishchay';" then alerting Self from start.php gives nishchay but i am not able to assign the calling object of Application type to the Self variable. It is the only way I cud think of. :\

Please help me... actually my object has some editing functions to control itself - its look and feel and some other options. I want the code loaded by object to control the object itself.

Please help me.. Thanks in advance. Nishchay
