I use this if it helps anyone
Alex
function ListObj (obj, str) { // dump objects and contents
var s = new Array ();
var i;
var j = 0;
for (i in obj) { // get all objects, and contents
s[j] = i + ": " + obj[i];
j = j + 1;
}
s.sort (); // sort them data down
var win = window.open("");
var doc = win.document;
doc.open ("text/html"); // open a new document
doc.writeln ("<html><head>",
"<title>Dump page</title>",
"</head><body>",
"<p><b>",
str, " contents.<br />",
navigator.appName, "<br />",
navigator.userAgent, "</b><br /><br />");
for (i=0; i<j; i++) {
doc.writeln (s[i], "<br />");
}
doc.writeln ("</p></body></html>");
doc.close (); // close down output stream
}

Thanks...
Figured it out very quickly after sending the message...
Hint for everyone else: Don't do this:
Function getProperties(obj) {
content = '';
for(var prop in object) {
content += prop + ': ' + obj[prop] + '\n';
}
alert(content);
}
Because it returns EVERYTHING! Not very useful! Much better to return a
list of the properties imho.
