Hakan,

Well, there are definitely better suited languages for it, but taking JavaScript to the object-oriented level can make your web site and structure much better and flexible.

He has earlier also earlier asked, at his blog, the preferences of developers; "object literal or new keyword". Since I read the question, it has bugged me because, to me, it seems wrong in web-context. In my opinion and in web-context, JS-objects and functions shouldn't be instantiated. Instead, DOM-objects should be instantiated and global-handlers should take care of event-based execution. Subsequently, DOM-elements can be added/removed/altered without falling into the pitfalls of memory leaks. Objects and functions can be instantiated as described but I think beginners especially can make the mistake not to clean up. For this purpose, there are more sutiable OOP-languages than Javascript as it is today. I have seen this article previously and have glanced through it.
