Interesting IE JScript support

[freedom9ner]

Anyone have any insight into why/how this amazingly works? Notice the dot notation in the function name. This will only work in IE. Interesting...

function MyFunction()
{
}
			
function MyFunction.MyFunction2()
{
	alert("worked!");
}
			
MyFunction.MyFunction2(); //works!
			
//
			
function MyNonExistantFunction.MyFunction3()
{
	alert("will not work"); //MyNonExistantFunction not declared first
}
			
MyNonExistantFunction.MyFunction3();

[rnd me]

this works in all browsers:

function MyFunction()
{
}
 
MyFunction.MyFunction2=function ()
{
    alert("worked!");
}
 
MyFunction.MyFunction2(); //works!

this works in all browsers:

function MyFunction()
{
}
 
MyFunction.MyFunction2=function ()
{
    alert("worked!");
}
 
MyFunction.MyFunction2(); //works!

Is there any difference between MyFunction.MyFu nction2=functio n (){} and function MyFunction.MyFu nction2(){}?
