Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

Object — NN 4 IE J3 ECMA 1

Synopsis

An Object represents a customizable object. Use the Object object to generate “things” in your scripts whose behaviors are defined by custom properties and/or methods. Most typically, you start by creating a blank object with the constructor and then assign values to new properties of that object.

Navigator 4 also lets you assign properties and values via a special literal syntax that also creates the Object instance in the process:

var myObject = {prop1Name:prop1Value[, prop2Name:prop2Value[, 
...propNName:propNValue]]}

You can use objects as data structures for structured custom data in your scripts, much like creating an array with named index values.
