While it is true that 'arguments' is not an array, the usability question is "what presentation of |arguments| will be most effective?".
I changed the presentation to be array-like, in part because arguments are passed in to Javascript functions like apply as an array: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Global_Objects/Function/apply I was able to make this change because of a contribution by sevenfurnance of a test case that displays many array and non-array objects. That contribution is in our FBTest suite so I can change the representation of |arguments| and have some confidence I did not break a bunch of other stuff. The solution is not satisfactory however: there is no easy way to get the |callee| property. jjb On May 29, 4:58 pm, LiuCougar <[email protected]> wrote: > arguments is not an array (it does not have concat, push etc.) > > so I don't think this is a bug > > > > On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 16:39, Steven Roussey <[email protected]> wrote: > > > console.log(arguments) doesn't work... > > > var f=function(a,b,c,d){ > > console.log(arguments); > > }; > > > f(1,2,3); > > > It shows Object instead of the array. > > >http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=1812 > > -- > Frontend Lead, teampatent.com > 生于忧患，死于安乐 > "People's characters are strengthened through struggle against > difficulties; they are weakened by comfort." > - Old Chinese adage --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
