您还可以使用前面提到的原型链spoon16扩展(继承)类和重写属性/方法。

在下面的例子中，我们创建了一个类Pet并定义了一些属性。我们还重写了继承自Object的. tostring()方法。

在此之后，我们创建了一个Dog类，它扩展了Pet并重写了. tostring()方法，再次改变了它的行为(多态性)。此外，我们还向子类添加了一些其他属性。

在此之后，我们检查继承链以显示Dog仍然是Dog类型、Pet类型和Object类型。

// Defines a Pet class constructor 
function Pet(name) 
{
    this.getName = function() { return name; };
    this.setName = function(newName) { name = newName; };
}

// Adds the Pet.toString() function for all Pet objects
Pet.prototype.toString = function() 
{
    return 'This pets name is: ' + this.getName();
};
// end of class Pet

// Define Dog class constructor (Dog : Pet) 
function Dog(name, breed) 
{
    // think Dog : base(name) 
    Pet.call(this, name);
    this.getBreed = function() { return breed; };
}

// this makes Dog.prototype inherit from Pet.prototype
Dog.prototype = new Pet();

// Currently Pet.prototype.constructor
// points to Pet. We want our Dog instances'
// constructor to point to Dog.
Dog.prototype.constructor = Dog;

// Now we override Pet.prototype.toString
Dog.prototype.toString = function() 
{
    return 'This dogs name is: ' + this.getName() + 
        ', and its breed is: ' + this.getBreed();
};
// end of class Dog

var parrotty = new Pet('Parrotty the Parrot');
var dog = new Dog('Buddy', 'Great Dane');
// test the new toString()
alert(parrotty);
alert(dog);

// Testing instanceof (similar to the `is` operator)
alert('Is dog instance of Dog? ' + (dog instanceof Dog)); //true
alert('Is dog instance of Pet? ' + (dog instanceof Pet)); //true
alert('Is dog instance of Object? ' + (dog instanceof Object)); //true

这个问题的两个答案都是从Ray Djajadinata的一篇很棒的MSDN文章中修改的代码。

数字也是对象。所以你可以做一些很酷的事情，比如:

// convert to base 2
(5).toString(2) // returns "101"

// provide built in iteration
Number.prototype.times = function(funct){
  if(typeof funct === 'function') {
    for(var i = 0;i < Math.floor(this);i++) {
      funct(i);
    }
  }
  return this;
}


(5).times(function(i){
  string += i+" ";
});
// string now equals "0 1 2 3 4 "

var x = 1000;

x.times(function(i){
  document.body.innerHTML += '<p>paragraph #'+i+'</p>';
});
// adds 1000 parapraphs to the document

闭包:

function f() { 
    var a; 
    function closureGet(){ return a; }
    function closureSet(val){ a=val;}
    return [closureGet,closureSet];
}

[closureGet,closureSet]=f(); 
closureSet(5);
alert(closureGet()); // gives 5

closureSet(15);
alert(closureGet()); // gives 15

这里的闭包并不是所谓的解构赋值([c,d] =[1,3]等价于c=1;d=3;)但事实上，在closureGet和closurereset中出现的a仍然指向同一个变量。即使在closureSet已经分配了一个新值之后!

私有方法

对象可以有私有方法。

function Person(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;

    // A private method only visible from within this constructor
    function calcFullName() {
       return firstName + " " + lastName;    
    }

    // A public method available to everyone
    this.sayHello = function () {
        alert(calcFullName());
    }
}

//Usage:
var person1 = new Person("Bob", "Loblaw");
person1.sayHello();

// This fails since the method is not visible from this scope
alert(person1.calcFullName());

可以将JavaScript对象绑定为HTML元素属性。

<div id="jsTest">Klick Me</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var someVariable = 'I was klicked';
    var divElement = document.getElementById('jsTest');
    // binding function/object or anything as attribute
    divElement.controller = function() { someVariable += '*'; alert('You can change instance data:\n' + someVariable ); };
    var onclickFunct = new Function( 'this.controller();' ); // Works in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
    divElement.onclick = onclickFunct;
</script>

确保在遍历对象属性时使用hasOwnProperty方法:

for (p in anObject) {
    if (anObject.hasOwnProperty(p)) {
        //Do stuff with p here
    }
}

这样做是为了只访问object的直接属性，而不使用原型链下面的属性。
