Inspecting Variables

The capability of inspecting variables is a powerful tool that you can use to examine the
current state of JavaScript objects and variables. It enables you to see the values for
variables in the current stack frame, or local scope, being debugged. If a property is an
object, you can recursively inspect the tree of objects and properties.
To start inspecting variables, select Local Variables from the Inspect drop-down list. If
debugging currently is stopped in a script, a paired list of variables and values displays in
the Inspect details window just beneath the list. To edit a variable, highlight in the variable
in the details window. This activates the Edit button just below the window. Clicking Edit
displays a popup window in which you can enter a new value for the variable, as shown in
Figure
A triangle next to the property name means that property is an object. To display that
object's properties, click the triangle to expand the object's properties. To contract the list
again, click again on the triangle.
