I use the below code to write code to query a web method in a specified interval.
now in the this.Poll function I have to do
this.tmo = setTimeout(this.strInstanceName + ".Poll()", this.iInterval);
instead of
this.tmo = setTimeout(this.Poll(), this.iInterval);
because IE looses the this object after setTimeout
So I have to pass the class it's instance name:
var objPoll = new cPoll("objPoll");
How can I get the instance name without passing it as parameter ?
I want to have it outta there !
