Editing goog.inherit Vs. simple inherit This edit will create a new revision. Your details (optional) Name Email (won’t be displayed; might be used for Gravatar) URL Test case details Title * Published (uncheck if you want to fiddle around before making the page public) Description (in case you feel further explanation is needed)(Markdown syntax is allowed) Performance comparision between goog.inherit and John Resigs simple inherit, and tweaked version of it.
