As many have noted, there's many opinions on how to handle the Internet Explorer 6 monster.  For a beautiful web just suggested his solution: one stylesheet to rule them all . It's completely ridiculous, and I'm suprised to see other professionals agreeing.

Get Class of an Instance

Posted by Sean on May 08, 2009 under

Have you ever wanted to get the class name of an object, maybe to check what instance it is of, or maybe to use the name for something? I was in need of exactly that, so I set out to do so last night. I started by asking Stack Overflow , and no one gave me an answer, so I pondered about it a bit. I started paying attention to the Hash object.

I knew that inside a class function, this.constructor would reveal the function that makes new intances of that class. But that function is anonymous, so I couldn't ask for the Function.name property. But! But, if I have a value, I can check an object for the key of that value.
