It uses a external class reference to call the method. I'd like to implement a design similar to MyClass1, which is a lot clearer and isn't coupled to an external variable. Th...

I need to add the name of the param before adding the value, and just leaving a blank param name like "P=" without any value messes up the page. Here's my code: function ...
