javascript - This keyword when function is called from hyperlink -




i have many links on web page used this:

<a href="javascript:test.test(this);">testing</a> 

with this keyword expecting html element owner of function. but, shows me window object instead. why that? how can (with code used above) html element, owner of function?

on web page, html structure more complex. every hyperlink inside other element, if this showing current element, easy parent element.

var test = function(){        var test = function(element){            debugger;          }        return {      test: test    }  }();
<div data-iuser_key='49499'>  <a href="javascript:test.test(this);">testing</a>  </div>

what did expect? code run inside javascript:, has no reference target element. default this refers window.

instead, use proper click handler:

<a href="#" onclick="test.test(this)">
