OOP in JavaScript

I've been using JavaScript since I don't know when. I've done a lot of pretty neat stuff with it but my approach has mostly been as follows:

1. I need something to be done
2. I use what I know about JavaScript to think up a way of doing it
3. If I get confused about certain properties of certain predefined objects that I know, I search for them on the Net
4. I get the job done

I've now realized that something's darn wrong with my approach regarding JavaScript! I've used up many could-have-been-fruitful years doing JavaScript stuff with only what I already know. I should have gotten to know the intricacies of JavaScript better and explore what all is there.

With the advent of AJAX and Web Services, I've started taking a closer look at JavaScript.

I've started by learning how to make better use of JavaScript's OOP features.

Here's a good link to get started: http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/viewsource/2001/oop-javascript

Also here is some very basic info that says that everything in JavaScript is an object and every object in JavaScript is actually a hashtable!
