In Firebug, the DOM tab shows a list of all your public variables and objects. In Chrome's console you have to type the name of the public variable or object you want to explore.
Is there a way - or at least a command - for Chrome's console to display a list all the public variables and objects? It will save a lot of typing.
Is this the kind of output you're looking for?
for(var b in window) {
if(window.hasOwnProperty(b)) console.log(b);
}
This will list everything available on the window
object (all the functions and variables, e.g., $
and jQuery
on this page, etc.). Though, this is quite a list; not sure how helpful it is...
Otherwise just do window
and start going down its tree:
window
This will give you DOMWindow
, an expandable/explorable object.
