sort of... take my "Person" example in to consideration.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function Person(first_name, middle_name, last_name, suffix, age, gender) {
this.name = new Name(first_name, middle_name, last_name, suffix);
this.fullname = first_name + " " + middle_name + " " + last_name
if (suffix) {
this.fullname += " " + suffix;
}
this.age = age;
this.gender = gender;
}

function Name(first, middle, last, suffix) {
this.first = first;
this.middle = middle;
this.last = last;
this.suffix = suffix;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<script>
anthony = new Person("Anthony", "Vernon", "Holloway", "Jr.", "20", "m");

document.write(anthony.name.first);

</script>

</body>
</html>

if you wanted to add a class to your object later you just type
anthony.isFat = "No";

get it?

Hmm, I've never seen such a clear demonstration of this in javascript, either. This helps me as well, since I'm learning OOP (.NET - C#/VB) and would love to apply these concepts to javascript. :)

That's a cool tutorial, but isn't the first example kind of backwards? I guess that's cool if you do a double-take, though... ;)

I wrote my HTML() bookmarklet library (http://www.angelfire.com/ca/redwards/html__.calendar.html) with exactly this goal in mind. :thumbsup: Once the library is invoked, it builds 154 new functions onto the window, String.prototype and Array.prototype objects to facilitate easy creation of complicated HTML constructs.

On the documentation page (linked above), there are examples that dynamically create a calendar, a websafe color palette, and even a web page editor. :D
