You want "that" :). If you reference "self" within the closure... it's really the self outside of yourself... so it's not really yourself.

But anyways, other naming conventions I've seen for "this" are "_this, that, thiz and tmp".

Like I said, the word "self" is the most used but is not a "real" convention at all. I don't use the prototype library for now and I'm always surprised to see that it contains a lot of helper to simplify things for javascript... thanks to them... Thanks to all for your comments.
