Rails spinoffs - Nov 2005 - Context-question

As script.aculo.us does not seem to be available these days, Im asking 
my question
instead of looking it up. :-)

Im making an Ajax.Request, but would like to maintain the context in the 
onComplete-function.
Fx.
----------------- SNIP ------------------------
function MyClass(){
    this.showMsg=function(msg){
        alert(msg);
    }
    this.myRequest=function(){
        var options={
            onComplete:function(t){
                this.showMsg("Request ended");
            }
        }
        new Ajax.Request("http://myserver", options);
       this.showMsg("Request started");
   }
}
var test=new MyClass();
test.myRequest();
--------------- SNAP ---------------------------

Its just a dummy function - but it fails because onComplete does no
have the right context and therefore can not use this.showMsg().

Any of you guys know how to maintain context?

Best Regards
Michael Krog

Sorry.

Im acting like its a crappy monday. I forgot ''.bind(this)'' is
usable for
this matter.
