Can you not just make a new reference before the ajax call?
DB_info.prototype.get_column_details = function(obj, table, column) {
someRef=this; //or DB_info.prototype, or whatever you prefer
$.post(this.db_info_script,
{ action: "get_column_details",
table: table,
column: column},
function(json) {
// Watch out, here comes the tricky part
someRef.results = json;
},
"json");
return true;
