[webkit-dev] prototypes and host objects

[Allison Newman]

Ahhh, ok.  Sorry for that.  I had understood that webkit-help was more  
for questions about attacking the "internal-facing" interfaces of  
Webkit - use of the DOM, CSS, Javascript programming and such.   
Anyhow, I guess I'll know better next time round!

Thankyou very much for the help Darin, I managed to get my code  
working after making the minor change that you suggested.
