This is my code:
request_xml: function()
{
http_request = false;
http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (http_request.overrideMimeType)
{
http_request.overrideMimeType('text/xml');
}
if (!http_request)
{
return false;
}
http_request.onreadystatechange = this.response_xml;
http_request.open('GET', realXmlUrl, true);
http_request.send(null);
xmlDoc = http_request.responseXML;
},
response_xml:function ()
{
if (http_request.readyState == 4)
{
if(http_request.status == 404 && countXmlUrl<=3)
{
countXmlUrl++;
realXmlUrl = xmlUrl[countXmlUrl];
this.request_xml();
}
if (http_request.status == 200)
{
xmlDoc = http_request.responseXML;
alert("need to update3");
this.peter_save_data();
}
}
},
peter_save_data:function()
{
// removed function code
},
Strangely, the alert fires without a problem but the function call underneath gives me this error:
Error: this.peter_save_data is not a function
Calling the same damn function from another function elsewhere works fine.

The TypeError: "x" is not a function can be fixed using the following suggestions: Paying attention to detail in code and minimizing typos. Importing the correct and relevant script libraries used in code. Making sure the called property of an object is actually a function.
You're Calling the Function Before It's Defined If the code that calls your JavaScript function precedes that function's definition in your HTML document, you will come across the function is not defined error.
The JavaScript call() Method The call() method is a predefined JavaScript method. It can be used to invoke (call) a method with an owner object as an argument (parameter). With call() , an object can use a method belonging to another object.
To invoke (call) these functions they always need a variable name. This kind of function won't work if it is called before it has been defined which means Hoisting is not happening here. We must always define the expression function first and then invoke it.
You could do this, right before you call the XML generation.
var that = this;
and later...
that.peter_save_data();
Because this frequently changes when changing scope by using a new function, you can't access the original value by using it. Aliasing it to that allows you still to access the original value of this.
