Re: [WSG] JavaScript clarification please

Hi Brett, _javascript_ objects are augmented with prototype. It should be noted that the example you provided also notes that the dot notation is merely syntactic sugar - meaning it is just a little bit of eye-candy which provides no extra functionality. _javascript_ objects are merely arrays. This is why they are not real objects. Objects and arrays are totally different. Cheers, Anthony.
