Weid behaviour calling value of a selfmade JS class
Hi,
I experienced some weird behaviour when alerting the value of a selfmade JS class.
I made the class myTestobj with one property called 'value'. The object 'mytest' is of that type. If I alert 'mytest.value' before the formtag it says 'Normal behaviour' as expected. But when I alert it inside the form it says 'Not so normal behaviour!'.
As you can see I have an element with the name 'mytest' in the form.
Why does it alert the value of this element when I call it inside the form and not the value of my object?
