Hi everyone,

Is there a way to get to the parent class' method while inside a subclass method that is overriding the parent method?

In the java world, you can call super(), which can invoke the parent classes method first. Is there something similar I can do with the class that is created from YUI's Y.Base.create()?

If I can't have a parent reference with Y.Base.create(), then what would be the best way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Luke,

While in debugging mode, I was looking for the static superclass property on the class object and didn't see it. But it makes sense now after reading up on static properties/methods for JS

Thanks for the tip on using call/apply. I saw similar syntax elsewhere when the superclass property was used but didn't think much of it at the time.
