isPrototypeOf

By Stephen Chapman, About.com

Definition: The isPrototypeOf property of each object is used to test if one object is the prototype of another. This is not a reserved word so you can declare your own variable or function called isPrototypeOf but if you do then you will not be able to test if an object is a prototype.
