extending alert in ie

[pantagruel]

Hi,
the following works in FF but not IE:

Object.prototype.describe=function(){alert("Descri ption: " +
this);return this}
alert.describe();

The question I have is mainly how can one go about extending the
behavior of native objects in IE?

Hi,

The question I have is mainly how can one go about extending the
behavior of native objects in IE?

as an example of what I mean:

Object.prototype.describe=function(){alert("Descri ption: " +
this);return this};
ActiveXObject.describe();

will produce an alert with the description equalling function()
{ native code}

I would like to achieve some sort of introspection on the native code
within IE (also in Firefox but that already seems a little more
amenable to this sort of hacking)

does anyone know can one intercept the parameter passed to
ActiveXObject and dependent on value allow the native code to run?
