[Javascript] Object References

[Hakan Magnusson]

As a useless sidenote most people tend to think differently of; the WITH 
statement should not be overused, and definately not used as a speed 
optimizing construct, since it's (in my experience) considerably slower 
than multiple rows of object.component.property = value;.

2 cents.
