I am still in the dark on how I define method to/in an private scope? I tried to play around with the following source but couldn't get to work. Any hint or better a solution would be appreciated and solve for me another part in the javascript 'puzzle'. var Headline = Class.create(); Headline.prototype = { initialize: function() { this.responseText = ''; this.isAtttachedUploadRemoved = false; }, getResponseText: function () { if(this.isAttachedUploadRemoved) { return this.responseText; } }, removeAttachedUpload: function(uploadId, headlineId) { alert('Call to remove method with '+ uploadId + ' ' + headlineId); this.setAttachedUploadRemoveStatus(true); this.responseText = 'blah 2006'; }, /** this method should be private * so I can make private calls i.e. in the removeAttachedUpload method and not from the * outer scope */ setAttachedUploadRemoveStatus: function (status) { this.isAtttachedUploadRemoved = status; } }

  See this really good article on mimicking private access specifiers in JavaScript:
