I've completed my JavaScript "dump" extension and posted it here (long URL):
http://www.depressedpress.com/depressedpress/Content/Development/JavaScript/ Extensions/DP_DeBug/Index.cfm The library adds two methods to the Object prototype (making them available to all objects): dpDump() which present an HTML display of any object and dpGetType() which provides a better type mechanism than the typeof operator. dpDump is more useful of the two by far. It provides: +) HTML representation of any complex object including nesting and data type. +) It supports circular/recursive references in objects (which I think is damn spiffy). +) It provides a dedicated debug window which can log multiple dpDump() calls over time. +) It returns a reference to the object enabling chaining of dpDump calls. For example this is legal: MyArray.dpDump().reverse().dpDump() and will result in a "before and after" view of the array. The page has full documentation, a zip download of the library and lots of examples. I've tested the component in IE 6.x and FireFox 1.x. I'd love to hear about your experiences in other environments. I'd also, of course, love to hear any comment or suggestions you may have about the Library itself, the documentation or the examples.
