Doh,

I have found the problem. The real name I have gave to my "someobject" was
actually "arguments" which is a object in the Standart JavaScript
language. And thus running code outside function used my object, but
running it inside function uses JavaScript one.

Does anyone knows why is this? I know that I have made BIG mistake, but I
would like to know why different objects are accessed depending where in
the JavaScript code they are used?

Cheers
