JavaScript doesn't have a money back guarantee but you can definitely have it your way. Custom objects are the JavaScript equivalent of a decaf triple shot grande extra hot no whip extra drizzle no foam marble mocha macchiato. That is one custom cup of coffee! And with custom JavaScript objects, you can brew up some code that does exactly what you want, while taking advantage of the benefits of properties and methods. The end result is reusable code that effectively extends the JavaScript language...just for you!
