Hi,

I'm just starting out learning JavaScript OOP and have simple
question. I use:

document.write("Make = " + this.make + "<br>");

and at the end of the output in my browser I get the word: "[edit]"

Were does "[edit]" come from. I'm not printing it out but it's getting
added to my output somehow. Help appreciated.
 
We need to now what context this is running in. What "this" is referring to.

All we can tell from your code is that you are trying to output the value of the "make" property of whatever object "this" is referencing.

Why you get "[edit]" might be related to whatever is inside the "make" property.

I'm sorry I didn't see the word "[edit]" in my code. Please disregard my question. I don't know how I missed it...
