please see what is wrong with my object literal

I get an "Car.display is not a function Car.display();" error.

Not sure why this is happening as I have included the method in the object.

Can someone please take a look?

thanks...

The display method is not where you're expecting it - try:

Car.owner.display()

make it

window[Car.display].apply();

@ Proculopsis - that worked however I don't understand since the display method is a property of Car not owner?

owner : {
name:"Henry Lee",
cell_phone:"222-222-2222",
address: {street:"10 Main",
city:"SF",
state:"CA"
}
