prototype	Allows addition of properties and methods to the object	3	4

Methods

Syntax: object.method_name()

Method	Description	NN	IE

valueOf()	Returns a primitive value ("true" or "false") for the Boolean object	4	4

<script type="text/javascript">
var b1=new Boolean( 0)
var b2=new Boolean(1)
var b3=new Boolean("")
var b4=new Boolean(null)
var b5=new Boolean(NaN)
var b6=new Boolean("false")

document.write("0 is boolean "+ b1 +"<br />")
document.write("1 is boolean "+ b2 +"<br />")
document.write("An empty string is boolean "+ b3 + "<br />")
document.write("null is boolean "+ b4+ "<br />")
document.write("NaN is boolean "+ b5 +"<br />")
document.write("The string 'false' is boolean "+ b6 +"<br />")
document.write("b1.toString()" + b1.toString() +"<br />")
document.write("b2.toString()" + b2.toString() +"<br />")
document.write("b3.toString()" + b3.toString() +"<br />")
document.write("b4.toString()" + b4.toString() +"<br />")
document.write("b5.toString()" + b5.toString() +"<br />")
document.write("b6.toString()" + b6.toString() +"<br />")
