Overriding init function of FormItem fails allocate global identifier.

[jason.saunders]

If I override the init function of FormItem then the javascript global identifier is not allocated.

The following demonstrates the problem;

   isc.FormItem.addProperties({
        init: function () {
            this.Super("init", arguments);
        }
    });

    isc.DynamicForm.create({
        fields: [{ ID: "test1", name: "test1"}]
    });

    if (window["test1"])
        isc.say("test1 does exist");
    else
        isc.say("test1 does not exist");

If the init override is removed then window["test1"] is allocated as expected.

Am I doing something wrong or is there an alternative method when dealing with FormItem's ?

Tested using IE9, Firefox 5.0.1, Chrome 12.0.742.122.

Call this.Super("init", arguments). Always required to preserve superclass functionality.

As per original post, that is what I'm doing.

No, what you're doing is redefining the init function for the existing class FormItem, hence destroying the functionality of the existing FormItem.init().

Yes, that would be a really stupid thing to do.
