Mostly because I forgot to switch it. ;^) The original library was designed to be a Static member of Object or (using another method) added directly to the Object prototype. This gave you some nice abilities, for example you could chain method calls: MyArray.dpDump().split().dpDump() Also with it added as a static method to Object there's really no footprint on the page - no new variables added. But in the end it makes more sense to create a single global to hold everything (as I've done with my other libraries recently). So I did. The version now available for download places everything into a "DP_Debug" object and doesn't modify the base JavaScript Object at all.
