Overview

In any case, trying to use it as a constructor will cause a TypeError to be thrown. [whatwg/webidl Issue #698] var x = new Circle(); // This uses the zero-argument constructor to create a // reference to a platform object that implements the // Circle interface. var y = new Circle(1.25); // This also creates a Circle object, this time using // the one-argument constructor. var z = new NodeList(); // This would throw a TypeError, since no // constructor is declared. — Web IDL Standard (2026)
