title: Getting all info on a Javascript variable
body: <p>I'm not a JavaScript Wizard by a long shot. But I am a web-developer and so I need to know my way around it at least a bit.</p>
  
  <p>Something I'll often do is simply alert a variable to see what it is.</p>
  
  <p>However, the problem is that I'll often get a result like: "object HTMLInputElement". To me this means little to nothing. Sure I can look it up, but I need to alert children() of children() of children(), etc...</p>
  
  <p>I've tried walking through the JavaScript with Firebug, but for some reason this is <em>very</em> slow. Firefox hangs when I start a debug session, for every single debug session and I don't know why.</p>
  
  <p>So, I want to inform if there is a way to get detailed info on variables some other way. Or a system I can use to work with to make things easier.</p>
