C.6. Objects

This section provides details on the multitude of objects available in JavaScript.

C.6.1. Anchor Object

The Anchor object corresponds to the XHTML anchor tag (<a>). You can use this object to create an anchor with the document.write() method in addition to writing specific code for the anchor. The following examples are identical:

var myheader = "Chapter 1";
document.write(myheader.anchor("Chapter_1"));

document.write('<a name="Chapter_1">Chapter 1</a>');

C.6.3. Array Object

The JavaScript Array object is similar to other languages' array objects, holding an ordered set of values. The following example creates an array of four string elements:

fruits = new Array("banana", "pear", "apple", "strawberry");

Elements of an array can be accessed by their numeric index, corresponding to their position in the array, starting with 0. For example, you could access the second element in the preceding array ("pear") as fruit[1].
