Synopsis
function.caller
Description
In early versions of JavaScript, the caller
property of a Function object is a reference to the function that
invoked the current one. If the function was invoked from the top
level of a JavaScript program, caller is
null. This property may only be used from within
the function (i.e., the caller property is only
defined for a function while that function is executing).
Function.caller is not part of the ECMAScript
standard and is not required in conforming implementations. It should
not be used.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
