I am using prototype;
TabbedInterface.prototype =
{
init:function()
{
return this;
},
.................
doMakeActive( this ); is between quotes as it needs to pass in the
object it is attached to, it will be attached to a list item <li> and
that is what it needs to pass in that function.
The problem is doMakeActive is a method of the object, but we don't
know what the reference name to the object is untill instantiation, if
I knew it before hand I could do myListItem.onclick =
"ReferenceName.doMakeActive( this );"
