JavaScript and Static Methods

JavaScript and static methods are something special, they don't work as you expect it form an object oriented language. That's because JavaScript is prototyped.

Take the following example:

:::javascript
function A () {
}

A.nodeName = function () {
alert("Name is A");
}

A.prototype.doSomething = function() {
alert("doSomething");
}

/A.prototype.nodeName = function() {
return this.proto.constructor.nodeName();
}/

A.nodeName();

var a = new A()
a.nodeName();
