			OBJECT: Object Object is the primitive Javascript object from which all other objects are derived. They therefore have all the methods defined for Object. It is created by using the Object constructor as follows: Code: new Object() PROPERTIES constructor Property This specifies a function to create an object's property and is inherited by all objects from their prototype. Syntax: Object.constructor prototype Property This allows the addition of properties and methods to any object. Syntax: Object.prototype.name = value METHODS eval Method The eval method is deprecated as a method of Object, but is still used as a high level function. It evaluates a string of JavaScript in the context of an object. Syntax: Object.eval(string) toSource Method The toSource method returns a literal representing the source code of an object. This can then be used to create a new object. Syntax: Object.toSource() toString Method The toString method returns a string representing a specified object. Syntax: Object.toString() unwatch Method This method removes a watchpoint set for an object and property name with the watch method. Syntax: Object.unwatch(property) valueOf Method This method returns a primitive value for a specified object. Syntax: Object.valueOf() watch Method This method adds a watchpoint to a property of the object. Syntax: Object.watch(property, handler)
