Javascript inheritance is a bit different from Java and PHP, because it doesn't really have classes. Instead it has prototype objects that provide methods and member variables. You can chain those prototypes to provide object inheritance.

Feb 17, 2011 · The meaning of inheritance in JavaScript is no different than in any object oriented language.

Don't get confused with JavaScript framework implementations of multiple inheritance. All you need to do is use Object.create() to create a new object each time with the specified prototype object and properties, then be sure to change the Object.prototype.constructor each step of the way if you plan on instantiating B in the future.
