Jan 8, 2014 at 0:02 comment added IMSoP Since this is JavaScript, there is no such thing as a "class". I guess what you mean is to have an object, or possibly a constructor for multiple similar objects, with the "private" data scoped to the constructor or an IIFE. The distinctions are worth keeping in mind, as I think a lot of JS code gets over-complex because people are trying to emulate OO as they know it from another language, rather than using the JS OO facilities to solve their actual problem.
