> isn't everything an object?
No:
typeof 2; // returns "number"
typeof new Number(2); // returns "object"
typeof ""; // returns "string"
typeof new String(""); // returns "object"
Primitive types such as string and number will be automatically
converted to an object of the appropriate type if necessary (e.g.
"2.valueOf()") but they are not objects as such. See ECMAScript 262
section 4.3, and section 9 on Type Conversion.
Regards,
Nick.
