Javascript: Passing 'this' to inline function

Create a new variable within the parent function:

var me = this;
use 'me' in new function

Example:

 

 function parentFunction() {

 this.message = 'Hello World!';
 var me = this;
 var childFunction = function() {
   alert(me.message);
 }

 childFunction();

}
