Python objects can have an explicit "search path" to hunt parent class/objects. But in JS you "clone" the parent to inherit from it, and then override what you want overridden in the copy (child). There is no explicit parent search path list in JS I don't think. It is purely inheritance-by-cloning. (Whether that is good or bad I won't say.) Correction: It seems later versions of JS added a "prototype" property, which is essentially a search path, a pointer to the "parent" object/class. In dynamic OO languages, objects are often simply dictionary arrays where the slots can hold attributes or code (or code pointer), and with a parent-search-path of some sort for upward hunts of any non-matching keys in the current array. ________________ oop.ismad.com Edited by tablizer Nov. 7, 2002, 02:12:28 PM EST Expand All History

Why OO techniques in web programming - (jake123) - (10) - Nov. 7, 2002, 12:33:32 PM EST

why does that need OO? - (tablizer) - (9) - Nov. 7, 2002, 01:38:12 PM EST

It doesn't. It just makes it a lot easier. - (jake123) - (8) - Nov. 7, 2002, 01:59:09 PM EST

Of course I don't believe you - (tablizer) - (7) - Nov. 7, 2002, 02:22:32 PM EST
