Okay, thanks for the help. I was just trying to figure out how to do
inheritence in javascript and instead embedded objects inside other
objects. :)
One solution I found was something like this:
function Contained ()
{
var self=this;
self.var1=1;
self.var2=2;
self.method1=function ()
{
return (self.varA);
};
}
function Container ()
{
var self=this;
self.varA = 'a';
self.varB = 'b';
self.containedObj = new Contained;
self.containedObj.varA = self.varA;
self.containedObj.varB = self.varB;
}
