How do I view a Javascript object in IE8's Developer Tools? In WebKit and Firebug, I can fire a command at the console which returns an object and it'll show me a tree of the object that I can navigate. In Internet Explorer, all I get is:

>>getSelection();
{...}

Is there a way to get a similar tree view in IE8's Developer Tools that I'm missing, or should I try and use something else (Firebug Lite maybe?) instead?

near the console you can see standart watcher dblclick on empty field and just type your variable
