Javascript getters and setters for dummies?
<p>I've been trying to get my head around getters and setters and its not sinking in. I've read <a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/javascript-getters-and-setters/">JavaScript Getters and Setters</a> and <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core%5FJavaScript%5F1.5%5FGuide:Creating%5FNew%5FObjects:Defining%5FGetters%5Fand%5FSetters">Defining Getters and Setters</a> and just not getting it.</p>

<p>Can someone clearly state:</p>

<ol>
<li>What a getter and setter are meant to do, and </li>
<li>Give some VERY simple examples?</li>
</ol>
