Synopsis
function.prototype
Description
The
prototype property is used when a function is used
as a constructor. It refers to an object that serves as the prototype
for an entire class of objects. Any object created by the constructor
inherits all properties of the object referred to by the
prototype property.
See Chapter 8 for a full discussion of constructor
functions, the prototype property, and the
definition of classes in JavaScript.
Bugs
JavaScript 1.1 requires a constructor to be used once before anything
can be assigned to its prototype object.
