How is this object working in javascript?
<p>I have a class and im just wondering how it works. Its able to tell me which browser im using by the user calling BrowserDetect.dataBrowser, but as far as I can see that element is an array in a class. Eash element of the array has 3 members. Its like an array of arrays....not really sure...</p>

<p>Can someone just give me a quick explanation of how the class works then I can google keywords to learn a bit more.</p>

<p>Thanks here is the code....</p>

<pre><code>var BrowserDetect = {
    init: function () {
        this.browser = this.searchString(this.dataBrowser) || "An unknown browser";

            || this.searchVersion(navigator.appVersion)
            || "an unknown version";
        this.OS = this.searchString(this.dataOS) || "an unknown OS";
    },
    searchString: function (data) {
        for (var i = 0; i &lt; data.length; i++) {
            var dataString = data[i].string;
            var dataProp = data[i].prop;
            this.versionSearchString = data[i].versionSearch || data[i].identity;
            if (dataString) {
                if (dataString.indexOf(data[i].subString) != -1)
                    return data[i].identity;
            }
