Thanks for the follow ups Ryan and Werner. Werner, are you saying that folks use a "for in" loop to iterate over the elements within an array? If so, I'm surprised that anyone would think that a for() loop over the elements in an array would be the same thigns as looping over the properties of an object. Or am I misunderstanding the issue? > As I said before to me the namespace problem is less problematic > (although having namespaces preallocated for ${} Form etc... > is not too nice either) > but the basic object altering probably is more critical if you > try to use prototype in a somewhat unknown environment (where you > cannot be sure which lib comes along) I'm not sure which side of the fence I sit at this time, while I can understand that library maintainers should practice denfesive coding techniques to prevent clashes, I can also see that having the flexibility to have base objectys adorned with commonly needed and very useful methods. I think I have a bit of reading and thinking ahead of me.
