dom inspector

[Robert Skidmore]

I made this javascript to help me debug some javascript one
time and I have just been adding to it over the years. It
is IE specific (sure it would not be to hard to change that).
It is not ever meant to be rolled to a production environment.

What it does:
After you displaying the debug window (see tip 1) you can
move your mouse over any element on the page and the window
will populate with all the properties, events, and objects
(yea, I know they are all really properties) of that element.

Instructions:
Place the following line in your page you wish to debug:
<script language="JavaS cript" src="/Debugger.js"></script>
(this assumes your saved down the code to a file named
debugger.js in the root of your site)
Tips:
1. You can make the debug window appear by pressing "ctrl+shift +d"
2. There are three icons on the top they are as followed:
Parent object - Loads the parent object of the current object
Lock Object - Click to lock in the current object
Close - Closes the dom inspector window
3. You can press and hold CTRL and it will also lock the object in
3. You can click on a object listed in the object tag and
the debug window will populate with that objects data
4. You can click on the property name, or event name to goto
the msdn definition of that property or event.
5. You can click on the field headers to sort
You can freely use this with only one condition, credit goes
to me.
That mean if you tell your boss you wrote this, I will hunt
you down and feed your ears to my pet sloth.
PS: Please post any impovement to this thread. Thx

Tips:
1. You can make the debug window appear by pressing "ctrl+shift +d"
2. There are three icons on the top they are as followed:

document.onmous emove = document_onmous emove;
document.onmous eup = dragDropRelease ;
document.onkeyp ress = document_onkeyp ress;
Taking note that it shouldn't be used for production. What if I have a
script that also does something upon document.onmous emove, etc. ?
Depending on the order of which the script was placed, either your
function reference will overwrite mine, or my function reference will
overwrite yours. Since this is IE specific, either use the
attacheEvent() method or try to implement the attachEventList ener()
method.

function remove_non_num( sNum){
var newnum;
for (var i=0; i<sNum.length;i ++){
window.alert(ch ar(sNum.charAt( i)));
}
}

You have no function named char(), plus char is a reserved word.

Don't want to burst your bubble but the DOM Inspector that comes with
FireFox seems to be more helpful, IMO.

FYI if you want to see the code in action its pretty easy:
Copy following line into your IE address bar and press Go, then press
ctrl+shift+d (you may need to scroll to the top of the page)

javascript:void (window.setTime out('script1=do cument.createEl ement(\'script\ ');script1.src= \'http://www.thatdotspot .com/debugger.js\';d ocument.getElem entsByTagName(\ 'head\')[0].appendChild(sc ript1)',200));

Sorry, some how a - got stuck in that line of code, try this one:

javascript:void (window.setTime out('script1=do cument.createEl ement(\'script\ ');script1.src= \'http://www.thatdotspot .com/debugger.js\';d ocument.getElem entsByTagName(\ 'head\')[0].appendChild(sc ript1)',200));

yea, I don't know if this is just googles site doing that or what,
But just remove the "-" right after "\'script\"
