//From Pragmatic Guide to Javascript

function repeat(options) {
  options = options || {};

  for (var opt in (repeat.defaultOptions || {})) {
    if (!(opt in options)) {
      options[opt] = repeat.defaultOptions[opt];
    }
  }

  for (var index = 0; index < options.times; ++index) {
    alert(options.rant);
  }
}

//FUNCTION USED AS AN OBJECT TO STORE PROPERTIES.
repeat.defaultOptions = { times: 2, rant: 'IE6 must die!' };
repeat(); // 2 IE6 alert boxes
repeat({ times: 3 }); // 3 IE6 alert boxes
repeat({ times: 2, rant: 'Flash must die!' }); // 2 Flash alert boxes
