I know what you mean. When I have lots of event-handlers in a prototype I like to assign

  var self = this;

but that's bikeshedding

Ah gotcha. I checked the definition at a few places but the context still seemed unclear.

I agree, one way or the other is fine. Do you use 'self' because you're a Ruby coder? That actually the reason I would stay away from it! But then again I'm easily confused :-p
