You're doing it wrong. It's not an OO language, though it can simulate one.It's a functional programming language. You use a different mindset to work with it.

Actually javascipt does not suck. tell your users to turn it off. Not a very eventf'ul experience unless your site is 'accessible' in a good way. JS is a requirement these days, get used to it. Ajax is a perfect example. Convenience for users is paramount. The perfect OOP model doesn't matter if users feel its a bad experience. Accept the peripherals. OOP is the norm now for good reason, but do not exclude the client from the party or you may find yourself in the dirt.
