williamrouse Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 In an attempt to become more familiar with JavaScript and jQuery I started to write some simple code and wanted to look at the object in the firebug debugger to understand the layout of properties and values that come with the object. I am absolutely overwhelmed at what is provided when I try to inspect an object. Given the code: $boxVar = $('#box00'); Where in the world is the hierarchal path or tree structure that would lead me to see properties such as location, position, color and the like when I inspect a javaScript or in the above example, ?$boxVar? a jQuery object, in the watch window of firebug? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
