JS - Call to static method with prototype

Well, I searched and didn't find a way to call a prototype method without instantiate another object. I found how to do:

 var x = new X();
 X.MyMethod();

What I really need to know is if there is a way to do like in jQuery, doing something like:

var x = "mystring";
x.MyMethod();

In jQuery UI, we call .draggable(), .resizable() in a selected object. Can I do the same?

You want to extend the String's prototype methods? You'll need to do something like this:

String.prototype.MyMethod = function() {
    console.log("MyMethod()");
};

var x = "mystring";
x.MyMethod();
