OK, but that's odd... somewhere internally there must be a reference from each object to its prototype. We can see this in the way properties are looked up. But, if we don't store it ourselves, there is really no way to find out what that prototype is? (Basically I'm trying to construct an "is-a" test to see whether one object derives from another via the prototype chain.) > See e.g. this random article a Google search turned up, > > http://phrogz.net/JS/Classes/OOPinJS2.html > > and notice how they set the constructors manually. I've seen articles like that, but always assumed it was silliness on the part of the author, rather than silliness on the part of JavaScript.
