Description

Returns a string representation of an object.

Syntax

objectname.toString( )

The objectname argument is an object for which a string representation is sought.

Remarks

The toString method is a member of all built-in JScript objects. How it behaves depends on the object type:

Object	Behavior
Array	Behavior [still to come]
Boolean	If the Boolean value is true, returns "true". Otherwise, returns "false"
Function	Returns a string returned of the following form, where functionname is the name of the function whose toString method was called: function functionname( ) { [native code] }
Number	Returns the textual representation of the number.
String	Returns the value of the String object.
Default	Returns "[object objectname]", where objectname is the name of the object type.
