A string literal gets automatically converted to a string object whenever you call a method on it.
This page [link] has a good description of what happens.
If you haven't already, read Crockford's book JavaScript: The Good Parts. JavaScript is a elegant little language that is quite easy to understand but has a few "bad parts" and is often tarred with the foul bush that is the browser document object model.

Heh. I just figured that out a minute ago!
Dunno why our consultants used 'new String()'.

I've read parts of it. It's what made me realize I didn't really understand JavaScript that well.
Thanks.
I'd guess that early browsers didn't handle string literals correctly.
It turns out that I AM screwed with regards to the mini mac. Amazon isn't going to help me. I waited too long, trying to resolve the problem myself. My only recourse was to was leave bad feedback for the seller.
Chalk that dearly needed money up as down the drain.
Ah, well. Brushing myself off, I just need to figure out how to make it back.
To that end, I'm looking for a dirt cheap laptop with one of the following set of criteria to use as a biofeedback monitor in my private practice.

Has anyone used the Mountain Lion diskmaker app?
I figure I need to back everything up before this motherboard crashes and burns, including the operating system.
The reviews for diskmaker seem quite good, but I always feel better with a personal recommendation.
eta: I haven't tried to use it, obviously, but the diskmaker seems to have created the mountain lion boot disk I hoped it would. It took quite a while, but the process was dead easy.
What are the things that the Play store checks for app compatibility? I've had Scrabble on my phone and tablet from Honeycomb through Jellybean, but I can't install it on my Ice Cream Sandwich machine. MY PHONE IS ICE CREAM SANDWICH. I can play the stupid game on my very small phone.
What on an Asus Transformer would be incompatible?
bonny,
did you pay via credit card?
can you file a claim through your credit card company?
Bonnie, it looks like Best Buy is having a 3 day sale that has a lot of computers. Maybe one fits your needs: [link]
le n, I did pay with a credit card, but Amazon says that they cannot help me because I waited 4 days too long to submit my claim. It doesn't matter that the seller did not follow Amazon packing protocols.
I took too long trying to fix the problem myself and that is a choice I'm now having to PAY for. Lesson learned, I suppose.
Since the purchase was for a used item, through Amazon, I can't imagine that my credit card company would take it on.
I just feel so stupid. On a bunch of levels.
Thanks for the best buy heads up omnis. The clearance isn't quite as dirt in the cheap department as I need, but you've got me thinking about another option.
Some years ago, I moved the massively heavy armoire that I use for a computer station out of my therapy office (which is quite smallcosy, into my huge great room. There is a ton of light, it's cheery and has a great view.
I may be kidding myself, but I imagine I am more productive in here.
However, since the noise emanating from the mini mac is getting louder by the day, I suspect I'm going to have to shell out for a new desktop sooner, rather than later.
If I hire someone to move the 'office' back into the office, I could possibly get by with just one computer.
My primary hesitation is that using the biofeedback monitor might be more comfortable if the client is on the couch with a laptop, rather than sitting in an office chair, looking at a large screen.
...thinking...
By chance, have you asked Apple how much a replacement motherboard would be? Just an idea.
