Spider Monkey and using objects

[Rahul Chauhan]

Hello All,
I have been experiencing some difficulties in using spidermonkey to generate
a proper hierarchy between different Objects.


I first Create a global Object and Initailize all the standard classes.

glob = JS_NewObject(cx, &base_class, NULL, NULL);
    if (!glob)
     return 1;

    if (!JS_InitStandardClasses(cx, glob))
 return 1;


Then I use javascript to create a child Object called application in the
global object.


 strcpy(scripttext, "var application = new Object()" );
    if (!JS_EvaluateScript(cx, glob, scripttext, strlen(scripttext), NULL,
NULL, &result0))
  return 1;


Then i Create a new Object called document as the child of application
object.


 strcpy(scripttext, "var document = new Object()" );
    if (!JS_EvaluateScript(cx, application, scripttext, strlen(scripttext),
NULL, NULL, &result0))
  return 1;

 Now if i try to Get the parent of the document object it is the global
object and not the applicatoin object as it should be.


 j12 = JS_GetParent(cx, dialog);

 if (j12 == application)
  printf("The Parent is Correct");

 if (j12 == glob)
  printf("The Parent is incorrect ");


If However, I explicitly set the parent of the document object using


JS_SetParent(cx, document, application);

Then the correct parent is application not global object as it should be.


Can anyone explain this? Is this a known bug or am i doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Rahul
