Description

Specifies the function that creates an object.

Syntax

object.constructor

The required object argument is the name of an object or function.

Remarks

The constructor property is a member of the prototype of every object that has a prototype. This includes all intrinsic JavaScript objects except the Global and Math objects. The constructor property contains a reference to the function that constructs instances of that particular object. For example:

x = new String("Hi");
if (x.constructor == String)
   	// Do something (the condition will be true).

or

function MyFunc {
	// Body of function.
}

y = new MyFunc;
if (y.constructor == MyFunc)
   	// Do something (the condition will be true).
