The window.location is an object. But when you execute location.toString() it converts the object to the equivalent to location.href.

My question is how? And can I set up objects to a similar behaviour?

• 1 All objects have a toString() method. You can override it either by changing the prototype implementation, or the implementation for the concrete instance. You should be more precise as to what you want to do. – jjrdk Commented Jun 13, 2011 at 10:14
• To plement @jjrdk's ment: For window.location, the toString() method is implemented in such a way that it returns the href property. – Tomalak Commented Jun 13, 2011 at 10:20

You can add a toString method to your object that returns what you want. In that case href

eg:

var obj = {
  href:'',
  toString:function(){
    return this.href;
  }
};

obj.href = 'http://stackoverflow.';
obj.toString();
