If you happen to be working on a custom object and using the prototype property of JavaScript to add custom methods but it doesn’t seem to work, the solution is simple, you just need to instantiate your custom object by using the new keyword so all the custom methods through the prototype object are added.
// Sample custom object var CustomObject = function() { this.props = { property: 'value' } } CustomObject.prototype = { CustomMethod: function() { alert(this.props.property); } }
// Instantiate the custom object var foo = new CustomObject;
// Doing that enables you to do this foo.CustomMethod(); // alerts 'value' // will not work because the object is not created as a new instance // prototype methods not yet added to CustomObject CustomObject.CustomMethod();
HTH 
you might want to look for a lightwindow that works and uses prototype. http://blog.clickmike.com/?p=65 co’z the other lightbox sucks.
p.s. can play almost anything

and by the way this post is really helpful too. Thanks Ninja Kid!
Prototype mentioned above is not the library but the prototype property within JavaScript itself for creating custom properties to objects. http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_prototype_math.asp
