JavaScript - Equivalent of PHP Class self::

Question

So I've been searching on this because it's giving me a headache not being able to achieve this... And seems like there is no solution the way I expected to be.

Let's assume we have a sample PHP class:

<?php 

class SampleClass {

    function doA() {
        echo 'Hello world';
    }

    function doB() {

        $sampleArray = ['Hey', 'You'];

        foreach( $sampleArray as $key => $value ) {

            self::doA();

        }

    }

}

?>

This code will echo Hello World two times because of the foreach loop. And thats good.

Now I have this script:

function SectionHandler($appWrap) {

 this.appWrap = $appWrap;

 this.loading = function() {
    this.appWrap.addClass('section-loading').html("<i class='fa fa-refresh fa-2x fa-spin'></i>");
 }

 this.setError = function($info) {
    this.appWrap.addClass('section-error').html($info);
 }

 this.load = function($section) {

  var $fileCheck = $.get($section).success(function(){
    self.loading();
    self.load($section);
  }).fail(function(){
    self.setError('No se pudo cargar los datos especificados desde ' + $section + ' ;');
  });

 }

}

I believe that this.loading() is no longer pointing to the main function because of the $.get().success() function. I do not know the real reason.

The problem is that none of this.loading(), this.load(), this.setError() is working.

So, how I do to point to the main function like I were using PHP self:: function.?

-- EDIT --

As @Eclecticist pointed out the line this.load($section); will execute untill it fails or gets an error, I change the whole check to this:

var $fileCheck = $.get($section).done(function(response){
 self.appWrap.html(response);
}).fail(function(){
 self.setError('No se pudo cargar los datos especificados desde ' + $section);
});

Try this:

function SectionHandler($appWrap) {
    var that = this;

    this.appWrap = $appWrap;
    this.loading = function() {
        that.appWrap.addClass('section-loading').html("<i class='fa fa-refresh fa-2x fa-spin'></i>");
    }

    this.setError = function($info) {
        that.appWrap.addClass('section-error').html($info);
    }

    this.load = function($section) {
        var $fileCheck = $.get($section).success(function(){
            that.loading();
            that.load($section);
        }).fail(function(){
            that.setError('No se pudo cargar los datos especificados desde /[ ' + $section + ' ]\ ;');
        });
    }    
}

The problem is the value of this changes once you're inside of a function. You can address it by declaring a variable within your main function, that, and reference it later on.

--edit--

I want to note that the line that.load($section); will recursively call SectionHandler.load() until the AJAX request either fails, or until you get a stackoverflow error.

And yes, I've been hoping something came up where I could reference that error :)
