I doubt this would be possible in JavaScript (or, at the very least, in a
dumper written in JavaScript).
The main problem is that there's no way to "pause" JavaScript. So when you
call a "dump" JavaScript runs that dump then continues merrily on its way.
So every dump is strictly point in time.
By the time the user requests a "lazy load" of more data the structure that
contained it may very well be gone or changed. In JavaScript the container
itself might be completely dissimilar from when it was originally displayed.
For example:
myObject = {Count: 0};
DP_Debug.dump(myObject);
myObject = "Hello";
Say, for the sake of argument, that the initial display didn't display the
content of the "Count" property but rather linked to it. By the time the
user clicks on it "myObject" is actually a string and "myObject.Count" won't
exist.
I'd LOVE to see some code that could do this correctly (damn that would be
neat) but can't envision any way to do it in Native JavaScript (although I
assume that there's some why to access the parser more directly in a program
since both IE and FF have more traditional JavaScript debuggers available).
