So I am trying to convert my web app over to being OOP-based since that's how I learned to program in the first place. I have all my functions and everything defined, but I'm running into a problem.

Let's say in the index.php I open a script tag and create an object function:

```
<script type="text/javascript">
function myObject(_string){
   this.string = _string;

   this.get_string = function(){
       return this.string;
   }
}
</script>

```

No biggie.

Now if I call it, it works fine if I do this:

```
var my_object = new myObject("this is a string");
console.log(my_object.get_string) // logs "this is a string"

```

but if I wrap it in a domReady, the object never gets created, and calling my\_object returns a reference error:

```
$(document).ready(function() {
     var my_object = new myObject("this is a string");
     console.log(my_object); // returns reference error
}); 

```

I get this same problem if I embed a function inside my object and try to call it:

```
<script type="text/javascript">
    function myObject(_string){
       this.string = _string;

       this.get_string = function(){
           return this.string;
       }

       this.set_string = function(new_string){
            this.string = new_string;
       }
    }

    my_object = new myObject("this is a string");
    my_object.set_string("this is a new string"); // returns reference error
    my_object.set_string() // Returns reference error
    my_object.set_string // returns a string containing the function
</script>

```

Seriously confused over this. Can anyone help?
