In JS is there a way to get the name or object reference of who called the function? If I have a message box named "Bert", is there a way to grab that name/reference say in a function anything()? This is regarding directly connected and non connected js objects.

Javascript doesn't know how objects are connected together so this isn't currently possible. The workarounds are to either use a different inlet or to [prepend name] the value so you can target it with a global funcyion.

Thanks. I was contemplating prepend. Would you happen to know the answer to my other post, it's driving me nuts:
