Using an array works when it's empty, but unfortunately normally
attr.edges is filled with rather complex objects.
(I wanted to print one of the objects out for you but can't get
Object.inspect(attr.edges) to show anything but "[object Object]" .
Seems like javascript never wants to do what I expect!! )
So I'm back to trying to get each() work with a hash of complex
objects but also with an empty hash.
I'm porting legacy code from Mootools to Prototype. So I'm trying to
understand why this works in Mootools but not Prototype. The Mootools
Hash.each method is just:
forEach: function(fn, bind){
for (var key in this){
if (this.hasOwnProperty(key)) fn.call(bind, this[key], key,
this);
}
},
});
Hash.alias('forEach', 'each');
And the Prototype each() is:
_each: function(iterator) {
for (var key in this._object) {
var value = this._object[key], pair = [key, value];
pair.key = key;
pair.value = value;
iterator(pair);
}
},
