Proper syntax for adding methods to objects

Hi everyone ?,

I am developing an application used for some registration of data at my workplace, and landed on an AJAX architecture using a series of C# developed services and a “client application” in javascript for user interaction.

I like to work in an object oriented fashion, and have previously defined objects as such:

[CODE]function MyObject()
{
this.myMethod = myMethod;

function myMethod()
{ /* code */ }
}
var obj = new MyObject()[/CODE]

However, this time I tried to simplify my code by doing:

[CODE]function MyObject()
{
this.myMethod = function myMethod()
{ /* code */}
}
var obj = new MyObject()[/CODE]

This works well, and browsers have no problems with this. However, Netbeans does not manage to derive code completion suggestions from this code. It simply does not recognize [I]myMethod[/I] as methods inside the [I]MyObject[/I] object.

Is this indicative that it is not correct somehow to assign function pointers the way I do?

It is not major issue, but it does make my code clean, IMHO.

Best, Knut
