Remove attributes from a Javascript object

How do I remove all attributes from a Javascript object?

For example; if I have the following 'class' how can I perform a reset and remove all its attributes:

function MyObject()
{
   this.type="blah";
   this.name="kkjkj";
}

MyObject.prototype.clearAttribs = function()
{
   // I want to remove name, type etc from 'this'

   // Maybe I can do the following?
   for (var key in this)
      delete this[key];
}

Your code seems fine as is. Since delete will not delete a property from the prototype, you do not even need to use hasOwnProperty.
