Aug 12, 2007

In the Prototype(JS Framewoke),there is no extend Object.prototype.
It only add some static method for Object class.I want to konw the reason.

Difference Between Object.prototype And Function.prototype?

Nov 25, 2011

According to ECMAScript, the root of the prototype chain is Object.Prototype. Each object has an internal property [[Prototype]] that could be another object or NULL.... However, it also says that every function has the Function prototype object: Function.Prototype, it confused me, because a function is an object, for a function object, what is its function prototype and object prototype..For example:

var x = function (n) {return n+1;};

what is the relationships of x, Object.Prototype and Function.Prototype

How Come Object.prototype Inherits From Function.prototype

Dec 14, 2009

I am trying to get to the bottom of javascript object, prototypes etc. I have a fairly good grasp of it, but I get confused the closer I get to the base object.prototype. FIrst of all, I was under the impression that all objects descend directly from Object. But some objects (like Array) seem to inherit properties and methods from the function.prototype. So does this mean that the chain is like this:

object -- function -- array Second, I noticed (on the mozilla javascript reference site that object.prototype inherits properties and methods from function.prototype and vice versa!? How can this be? I must be missing something important about understanding the chain?

Extend The Constructor For The Date Object?

Jul 9, 2010

How to extend the constructor for the date object of the javasccript so that whenever a call is made to the constructor, I want to perform a particular action? Basically how to define wrappers for default javascript methods or objects like Date() so that I can perform some action and then invoke the original method? So basically if I have something like var a = new Date(); I want it to (say) alert the value of the date everything Date() is called and then execute the default date constructor.

Prototyping Within Library - Extend Or Super-class The Native String Object

Apr 21, 2011

I have a few String prototypes such as String.prototype.EscapeReg = function () { return this.replace(/[-[]{}()*+?.,\^$|#s]/g, "\$&"); }; // Escapes characters for use with a regular expressionI also have my own class/ library which is used like this var adg = new AndyG_ns.ADG_Utils(); adg.StartClock('AndyClock','dd mmm yy hh:nn'); // etc.What I would like to do is to only add the prototype to my library (not to the global namespace). The end result I'm looking for is to use code such as:

var adg = new AndyG_ns.ADG_Utils();
var myString = new adg.AString();
var parsed = myString.EscapeReg();

In addition, I want to be able to also use/create my special string sub-class within my library. I suppose I'm saying that I would like to extend or super-class the native String object.

Copying All Prototype Functions AND The Constructor From One Object Into Another Object

Apr 5, 2011

How would I go about copying all the prototype functions AND the constructor from one object into another object, and then call them?

I know I can use this.example.call(this), but that's not an acceptable solution. I want to deploy this style over dozens, potentially hundreds of objects.

Object.prototype

Mar 15, 2006

Lets say we run: window.alert = function() { };

Is there anyway to 'restore' the original alert() method or is it gone
forever?

I know you can do window.alert = Window.prototype.alert, but lets say
you also set Window.prototype.alert = function() { } or lets say we're
in Opera, which doesnt have a Window "class".

Object As A Prototype.

Jan 11, 2007

I wanted to add an object as a prototype to separate my methods more
nicely, however, I ran into a couple of problems. Apart from the
obvious "scope" issues I found that any instances of my class shared
the objects methods and properties.

I realise (now) that this is actually how prototypes work, they share
functions and objects rather than create new instances of them for
every "class", but is there any way around it? (or shouldn't I be doing
things like this at all?) Code:

Having More Than One Object Without Using Prototype

Jan 23, 2007

I am working on my own pop up calendar, mainly because the one I am currently using crashes the Safari browser at times.

So, I want to verify that what I am doing will work, in that I want to be able to have multiple calendars open at the same time, each independent of the other.

So, I start it off with:

var Calendar = {
dateSelected: null,
topPos:null,
leftPos:null,

somefunction:function(e) {
...
}
};

If I create more than one calendar object, will they have their own variables, in that the dateSelected, topPos and leftPos will be unique to that instance?

Or, is there a better way to do this, that is cross-platform.....

JQuery :: When Is Use Of The Prototype Object Appropriate, And When Is It Not?

May 7, 2009

QUESTION ONE: When is use of the jQuery prototype object appropriate, and when is it not?

BACKGROUND:I am still trying very hard to identify the error that is prohibiting me from incorporating a jQuery plug-in into my site in a manner similar to the way that the author of the plug-in has incorporated it into his.Although I have sought consultation with the author, he appears uninterested in working with me.My still fledgling knowledge of jQuery tells me that the author of the plug-in and my implementation of his plug-in are constructed differently.Whereas I use jQuery's prototype property to reference my method and then assign my method anonymously to my HTML document as follows: $().myJQMethod().The author of the plug-in does something very different.I have extracted from the author's plug-in and my implementation of it. Links to the source pages have been included.

CONSTRUCT A (The jQ_Impromptu Plug-In):
(function($) {
$.prompt = function(message, options) {
})(jQuery);[code]...

QUESTION TWO: Although I am able to implement the author's method, it is not performing as it should. When the alert box appears with focus the hosting HTML page is suppose to show through with dimmed opacity.My implementation does not achieve this effect. Firebug has alerted to me to the following breakpoint, but I am poorly unable to interpret it.

Object.prototype, Getters And Setters

Jul 23, 2005

I find the JavaScript's Object.prototype and getter/setter mechanism
very nice. However, I need some help with extending an object with
getters/setters in the derived class. For example:

A : function () {}

A.prototype =
{
a : null,

get a : function () { return a++; }
};


B : function () {}

B.prototype = new A;

Now, I would like to define a getter/setter in B. How do I do that?
There is no way to use the same syntax as in "A.prototype = ..." above.

Setting An Object's Prototype Directly?

Oct 14, 2005

I was hoping I could do something like this in javascript:

var a = {x:1, y:2};
var b = {x:2, z:3};
b.prototype = a;

And then:

b.x => 2
b.y => 2
b.z => 3

The purpose is to set up "b" as an override of "a".

I know it doesn't work that way because "prototype" is not a magic property on any object but constructors only. Is there a way to implement the above without involving a constructor?

How Would The Relationship Between An Object And Its Prototype Be Depicted...

Jan 18, 2007

in UML? I just found that UML is actually very class-based. It's
difficult to depict the relationship between a constructor function,
its prototype property, and objects that are created using that
constructor function using UML.

Have any of you ever attempted this? How would you do it?

Missing Prototype Property In First New Object

Sep 28, 2009

I've ammended my code now so that I'm using objects, constructors and prototypes.

If I use the standard constructor.prototype.functionname = (){......} type of setup it works okay.

However I'm now experimenting with overwriting the prototype with a literal. As in the code below. i.e. constructor.prototype = {functionname : function() .......

Doing it this way my first new object instance fails. The subsequent new objects are fine.

I ran a check on the properties of the 1st object with '!hasOwnProperty and name in' and the result is that the prototype (or pointer to a prototype) is missing.

So the first new object of FontTrans (oH) has

Code:
1 property is Heading
.
.
9 property is Delay

Prototype - Override Constructor For A Object?

Mar 23, 2011

I have a requirement to override the constructor of a javascript class. I have to execute the current constructor code and then call a javascript method. Basically, I need to execute a javascript method whenever an object of that particular class is created in addition to whatever is being done now. I do not want to copy and paste the current constructor code and override the initcomponent method. I am looking for an alternative for that.

Prototype :: Create A Reusable Object/class

Jul 4, 2011

What I have been doing so far to make a "class"/Reusable object is this:

PHP Code:

function Dog(){
this.name name;
this.bark = function(){

[code]...

However, recently I have been reading a book on Javascript and it said that the problem with this way of doing it, is that the bark() function will be loaded into memory for each Dog object created this way, while the body of that function is the same for each object.

- A Person class with a name property and a jump() method.

- An animal class with a isMammal property and move() method.

- A Dog class with a numberOfLegs property and a bark() method which is a subclass of Animal (thus inherits the isMammal property and move() method.

- Each of those classes in its own file.

This book I've been reading is actually pretty good, but at some points it's explanation is not rich enough.It explains that functions are objects and that objects in javascript are just key-value pairs. It says that each function has a prototype property which points to a blank Object(), but you can make it point to something else? or maybe I misunderstood it. I still don't understand how it really works.

Constructor Property Of Object - Inherited From Its Prototype - Changed Dynamically ?

EXTEND ?

Sep 24, 2005

I switched to using this function to create element:

----------------------------------------------------
function elem(name, attrs, style, text) {
var e = document.createElement(name);
if (attrs) {
for (key in attrs) {
if (key == 'class') {
e.className = attrs[key];
} else if (key == 'id') {
e.id = attrs[key];
} else {
e.setAttribute(key, attrs[key]);
}
}
}
if (style) {
for (key in style) {
e.style[key] = style[key];
}
}
if (text) {
e.appendChild(document.createTextNode(text));
}
return e;
}
---------------------------------------------------------

so instead of the "old" way:
var oMyDiv = document.createElement("DIV");
oMyDiv.setAttribute("id","testid");
oMyDiv.className = "testclass";

I use that function :
var oMyDiv = elem('DIV', {'id':'testid', 'class':'testclass'});

The rendered source shows this:
<div extend=" function (object) {return Object.extend.apply(this, [this,
object]); } "
class="testclass" id="testid">

Question: I don't understand the "EXTEND" part......anyways does it look
legit/right?

How To Extend HTMLObject

Sep 4, 2007

I would like to extend any HTMLObject with additional functions, such as the following:

HTMLCollection.prototype.getElementByID = function(s_name)
{
alert(s_name);

return null;
}
Unfortunately this doesn't work. However, this one does:
Code:
Array.prototype.getElementsByName = function(s_name)
{
alert(s_name);

return null;
}

Is there a way to do what I'm looking for, perhaps using other techniques?
