I have been trying to emulate static properties in javascript. It has been mentioned in several places that class.prototype.property will be static across all objects inheriting from the class. But my POC says otherwise. Please take a look:

Using Class.prototype.property

//Employee class
function Employee() {
    this.getCount = function(){
        return this.count; 
    };      
    this.count += 1;
}
Employee.prototype.count = 3;

var emp = [], i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    emp[i] = new Employee();
    console.log("employee count is "+ emp[i].getCount());
}
/*Output is:
employee count is 4
employee count is 4
employee count is 4*/

My Question #1: If this were to be static, then shouldn't the value of count have been 4,5,6,etc as all the objects share the same count variable?

Then I did another POC with Class.prototype and I think this to be static.

Using Class.property

//Employee class
function Employee() {
    this.getCount = function(){
        return Employee.count; 
    };      
    Employee.count++;
}
Employee.count = 3;

var emp = [], i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    emp[i] = new Employee();
    console.log("employee count is "+ emp[i].getCount());
}
/*Output is:
employee count is 4
employee count is 5
employee count is 6*/

My Question #2: Nowhere I have seen class.property being used directly. How exactly are static variables made in javascript keeping in mind my above code?

Or Have I coded something wrong here? Is this not the correct perception?
