prototype.__defineGetter__() equivalent in Konqueror

[Chung Leong]

Is there an equivalent in Konqueror's KJS engine to Gecko's
__defineGetter_ _() and __defineSetter_ _() methods? Our web application
uses a ton of Javascript, written based on Internet Explorer's object
model as that's the primary platform that we're supporting. For
Netscape support we uses __defineGetter_ _() and __defineSetter_ _() to
emulate the many IE-only properties. I've tested our site using
Safari, and to my surprise, it renders perfectly. Alas, it's
completely non-functional. If it's somehow possible, I'd love to write
a similar emulation library for KJS so that our non-Windows users
would have an alternative to crummy Netscape/Mozilla.

Can users without JavaScript use it? If not, your design is flawed.

Why on earth? Don't trust so-called "statistics ", they are no
statistics at all.

See? Get a hack on that proprietary code you are using, making
it standards-compliant since this is the direction in which the
Web is developing (recent IEs do support them, too). You do not
need the most of it, so you do not need to emulate the whole DOM.
And no, I do not know how to emulate the IE-DOM with KJS since I
write standards-compliant code where possible and therefore code
that can be used in the foreseeable future, independent of the
vendor which saves you a lot of trouble, once you turn around.
