All classes are fields in lz?  Why's that?
That seems kinda odd.

I have some window management code that iterates through an array of different windows & switches on the exact window type.

It used to work with code like this -
          var w=getNextWindow();

           // classname can be composewindow, mailwindow, contactswindow
if(w.classname == "composewindow") { return w;
           }

This stopped working because w.classname is now Object. w.constructor.classname is, however, 'composewindow'

What's the right way to do this? Should obj.classname be the same as obj.constructor.classname?
I want to make sure this works when & if OpenLaszlo is updated.

I think what you really want to do is say:

  if (w instanceof lz.composewindow) {

The fact that there is a classname property on instances is an accident of Javascript inheritance.
