database.prototype

NES2+, ECMAScript 1.0+Syntax

							database.prototype.method = methodName
							database.prototype.property
						

Description

The prototype property of the database object allows you to add methods and properties to the database object. If you are adding a method, you set the instance equal to the methodName of the method you have defined.

Example

Listing 8.49 creates a new property and method of the database object. An instance is created and the new property is set. The new method is then called to verify the property, and, if it is incorrect (which it is), an error is written to the page.
