Javascript inheritance question

In his website article on javascript inheritance , Harry Fuecks explains how to implement inheritance as follows:

    function copyPrototype(descendant, parent) {
    var sConstructor = parent.toString();
    var aMatch = sConstructor.match( /\s*function (.*)\(/ );
    if ( aMatch != null ) { descendant.prototype[aMatch[1]] = parent; }
    for (var m in parent.prototype) {
        descendant.prototype[m] = parent.prototype[m];
    }
};

      

        
        
        
      

    

While I understand his code, one question arises: why not remove the for loop and just do this:

 function copyPrototype(descendant, parent) {
    var sConstructor = parent.toString();
    var aMatch = sConstructor.match( /\s*function (.*)\(/ );
    if ( aMatch != null ) { descendant.prototype[aMatch[1]] = parent; }
    descendant.prototype = parent.prototype;
};

      

        
        
        
      

    

Thank.
