doesNotUnderstand for JavaScript?

Question

Is there a way to simulate Smalltalk's doesNotUnderstand or Ruby's method_missing in Javascript?

Answer 1

There is no catch-all method defined in the JavaScript standard, but Mozilla implements the non-standard __noSuchMethod__ for SpiderMonkey and Rhino (including Firefox obviously).
