[Javascript] accessing nested functions

[Pedro Mpa]

Thanks for replying, please apologise my bad English.

If I add "new" to function declaration, when I call "test = new a();" the
code inside function b is executed too, and that’s not what I intended. I
was looking for the PHP class->function type of behaviour but with function
nesting which isn't allowed in PHP.

function a(){
    alert('a');

    this.b = new function(){
        alert('b');

        this.c = function(){
            alert('c');
        }
    }
}

foo = new a();
> alert a
> alert b


Sorry for top posting :)
Pedro.

c is only assigned to b if you execute b. So thiw works:

function a(){
    this.vara = "";

    this.b = new function(){
        this.varb = "";

        this.c = function(){
            this.varc = "";
            alert('something');
        }
    }
}


test = new a();
test.b.c();

The only change is in the line this.b = new function(){

>> test.b.c() Is not a function.

I don't believe there is.
