The unique readers and writers in Mozilla (defineGetter, defineSetter) can add prototypes to Elements, Events, etc., so that the methods used in IE can also be applied in Mozilla. Some commonly used codes are posted below
For example
obj.insertAdjacentHTML, currentStyle, obj.attachEvent, obj.detachEvent, etc.
