Reference Function Inside of Function

[unemployment]

How can I reference a function inside of a function using OOP.

 

I am trying to do this.

 

with_field.onkeydown = function(event){
associate_search.fill_list.down_key(event);
}

 

Where in another file I have this type of setup.

function associate_search (){
     this.fill_list      =  fill_list;

     function fill_list(){
           //do stuff
           
           function down_key(event){
                  //do stuff
           }
     }
}

var associate_search	= new associate_search;

 

How can I reference the down_key function?

You can't, it's out of scope. Only the parent function can call it.

Thanks for letting me know.
