JavaScript Operator: instanceof
[this page | pdf | back links]
In JavaScript,
the instanceof operator returns
true if a specified object is an
instance of the specified object type, otherwise returns false.
For example, suppose we
have an array:
var x = ["a","b"];
Then (x instanceof Array) and (x instanceof Object) both return true (because x is an array and arrays are themselves objects, but (x instanceof String) returns false
