Thomas, Thank you for the detailed reply. I would have never figured out by myself that functions are recorded on the window but classes are not.
Although this is probably the first time I posted a question here, I have immensely benefited from your helpful responses here, stackoverflow and various other forums. Your volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated.
