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

That's because anonymous functions don't have names...

Then, this will just return an empty string.

@FlorianMargaine: Exactly. :)

sure, but I think the OP wants the method label (someobj.NAME would be NAME for example)
