Connection.prototype

NES3+, ECMAScript 1.0+Syntax

connection.prototype.method = methodName
connection.prototype.property

Description

The prototype property of the Connection object allows you to add methods and properties to the Connection object. If you are adding a method, you set the instance equal to the methodName of the method you have defined.

Example

Listing 8.21 creates a new property and method of the Connection object. An instance is created and the new property is set. The new method is then called to verify the property and, if it is incorrect (which it is), an error is written to the page.
