How to access calling object in OnSuccess/OnFailure?

Mulone

Hi guys,
I'm making this ajax call:

new Ajax.Request(url, {
		   method: 'get',
		   onSuccess: function(transport) {
		       this.contextReady = true;

	   },
   	   onFailure: function(transport) {
	        this.contextReady = false;
	   }

   });

from a JS object containig contextReady. The problem is that this within the OnSuccess is not the class but something else (e.g. a window).
How can I update the right this.contextReady?

Thanks for any hints!

Create a variable reference to the 'this' object:

var myObj = {
    contextReady : false,
    makeRequest : function (url) {
        var obj = this; //holder to reference myObj's 'this'
        new Ajax.Request(url, {
            method: 'get',
            onSuccess: function(transport) {
                obj.contextReady = true;
            },
            onFailure: function(transport) {
                obj.contextReady = false;
            }     

        });
    }
};
