How to get the instance name of an object

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 pointer 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 !

I provided an answer for a similar question today in which I created a polling class from scratch. You may want to adopt it for yourself. In the sake of not duplicating, here's a link a link to said question:

Poll the Server with Ajax and Dojo *

* Despite the title, my solution offers both "vanilla" and Dojo styles.

I just wanted to say, this self trick has saved me a ton of hair pulling.

I didn't think to create a reference like this. It means dynamically-created elements with on click events can call the correct instance of my class.

You can use this handy little wrapper to execute a function periodically at given interval (1 sec by default):

function tick(func, interval) {
    return (function() {
        if(func())
            setTimeout(arguments.callee, interval || 1000);
    })();
}

The function is repeated until it returns false:

tick(function() {
   if(should stop) return false;
   do stuff
   return true;
});

If the function is a method, make a closure as shown

// inside your object
var me = this;
tick(function() {
   return me.doStuff();
});

I've asked another question, the answer is here:

JavaScript: List global variables in IE

Iterating through the global variables and check whether it equals "this".

You could also use:

i.e.

var name = findInstanceOf(cPoll);

function findInstanceOf(obj) {
    for (var v in window) {
        try {
            if (window[v] instanceof obj)
                return v;
        } catch(e) { }
    };
    return false;
}

Loose the parenthesis in this.Poll(). You call this function right away, not after a time interval. If you loose the brackets, it will pass a function, not a result of it, to setInterval and you won't have any issues.

setTimeout(this.Poll, this.Interval);

Otherwise you call the function right away and nothing holds this pointer anymore, and IE just deletes it.

In fixed variant, this.Poll will hold pointer to this and it won't be deleted.
