This may be more of a JavaScript question than a jQuery question, unless there is a better jQuery way to do it.

I want to create an object that has methods.

So I looked up how to do this on the internet, and got the following snippet:

1.  textplayer = new Object();

   function textplayer() {

       function getDuration() {

       var retval;

       retval = 55;

       return (retval);

      }

   this.getDuration = getDuration;

   }

then I should be able to call textplayer.getDuration(); It does not work, and neither to alternate methods such as: this.getDuration = function() { ...}

Any help is appreciated.

1. What is the right method of doing this?
