You know, I think I misread something. Mark Joseph Obcena, in the new "Pro JavaScript with MooTools" (p130) says: "In this example, mark isn’t of the Person type but rather of the Object type, even if its class is Person. In the MooTools system, objects created from MooTools classes always have Object as their type and only objects created from the actual MooTools type constructors are given a different type." I wasn't remembering correctly---I was thinking that the book said that "instanceof" didn't work. Instead, the book is describing one aspect of MooTools' typeOf() function. Thanks to Christopher and Ryan for correcting me, and sorry for getting this thread off-topic.
