Use arguments.callee.name like this:

alert('This message is coming while running inside the method ' + arguments.callee.name);

Won't work with anonymous function assigned to method – KooiInc May 14 '12 at 14:32

That's because anonymous functions don't have names... – Elliot Bonneville May 14 '12 at 14:33
Then, this will just return an empty string. – Florian Margaine May 14 '12 at 14:34
@FlorianMargaine: Exactly. :) – Elliot Bonneville May 14 '12 at 14:35
sure, but I think the OP wants the *method label* (someobj.NAME would be NAME for example) – KooiInc May 14 '12 at 14:35
@KooiInc: OP asked for "method/function". He's clearly coming from a non JS context where functions are called methods. :) – Elliot Bonneville May 14 '12 at 14:37
Hi, I am getting "undefined" on arguments.callee.name. how do I get the proper method name? – Enggr May 14 '12 at 17:23
