We are using as a interpreter for JS code found at HTML pages. The
problem we face here is that JS allows multiple names for the same
object, such as:
"button1.name" and "myForm.button1.name" or
"document.myForm.button1.name"
All expresions reefer to the same object. how can I show this to
RHINO.

we have processed the DOM model from the HTML document, so before
trying the interpretation we provide the context with the appropriate
object.  For example:

    ScriptableObject.defineClass(scope, Document.class);
    Scriptable myDocument = cx.newObject(scope, "Document", null);
    scope.put("document", scope, myDocument);

The problem is that we need the compiler to "understand" the hierarchy
and that a given object may have different names.

Is there a way to do that?

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

thanx in advance.
