Synopsis
object.toString( )Returns
A string representing the object.
Description
This method is intended to return a string representation of the
object, localized as appropriate for the current locale. The default
toLocaleString( ) method provided by the Object
class simply calls the toString( ) method and
returns the nonlocalized string that it returns. Note, however, that
other classes, including Array, Date, and Number, define their own
versions of this method to perform localized string conversions. When
defining your own classes, you may want to override this method as
well.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
