Example 10.9:
The Object Hierarchy

Okay, so this isn't a real example. Rather, it's an interactive table showing the Object Hierarchy. Click on links to "drill down" the hiearchy and see what's a property of what. Remember, if a property has its own properties, then it is an object in its own right, as well as being a property of the object one level up the hierarchy.

How to Use This Table

Each document in this table lists an object's properties. The properties that are links are also objects in their own right...click on the link to see their properties.

This document contains information about the top-level and built-in objects, navigator, window, Array, Math, Date, and string.

The navigator Object

This is a top-level object. It's not really part of a hierarchy, as it is descended from no other object, and is the parent of no other object:

The window Object

The top-level object in the hierarchy is the window. The window has these properties:

The Array Object

The array object is a new one, introduced with Netscape Navigator 3.0, beta 3, so it wonít work with Netscape 2.0. Itís a built-in object, so itís not a property of another object. It has a single property:

The Date Object

The Date object is not descended from another object, and has no properties.

The Math Object

The Math object is not descended from another object. It has these properties:

The string Object

The string objects are created when you create a string; they are not descended from other objects. They have this property:
