[SDRuby] Javascript question

[Scott Olmsted]

Okay, I'm doing the Peepcode on _javascript_ and I have the latest Firebug installed and I'm displaying http://www.prototypejs.org/, so the latest prototype library is active (it works with other examples).

Following the Peepcode, I enable the Console and the multi-line entry box on the right, enter this code

var Butter = Class.create();

Butter.prototype = {
  inititalize: function(brand) {
    this.brand = brand;
    this.melted = false;
  },

  melt: function() {
    this.melted = true;
  }
};

and hit Run; it says

>>> var Butter = Class.create(); Butter.prototype = {... melt: function() { this.melted = true; } };
Object

which is fine. Then I Clear and close the multi-line entry box and put this into the single-line entry box at the bottom in slavish imitation of Geoffrey Grosenbach:

var parkay = new Butter('Parkay')

hit Enter and it says

>>> var parkay = new Butter('Parkay')
TypeError: this.initialize is undefined

Adding a semicolon produces the same result:

>>> var parkay = new Butter('Parkay');

Anybody got a hint for me? And if you're responding before Tuesday morning, why aren't you out at play somewhere?

Thanks,

Scott
