I am watching jQuery lessons on https://tutsplus.com...-learn-jquery/. And I am stuck on the lesson Slides and Structure starting 9.20 minute. This is a simplified code from the video:

var contactForm = {
    container: $('#contact'),
    
    show: function(){
         contactForm.container.show();
    },
    
    close: function() {
         $('<span class=close>X</span'>)
             .prepandTo(this); //#contact

    }
};

For some reason 'this' in the function 'close' refers to contactForm.container. How come it refers to the variable if it supposed to refer to object contactForm? O_o
Thanks!

well, it wouldn’t make sense (logically) if this referred to the contactForm object. but in the end it depends on how you call the close() method.

Dormilich, where you've been 3 days ago???... )) YOU RIGHT!!! I did not pay attention on that! It's called from the function 'show' - contactForm.close.call(container)!..
THANKS A LOOOOOT!!!
