MooTools Window Object Dumping
Ever want to see all of the information stored within the window property of your browser? Here's your chance.
The XHTML
<div id="console"></div>
We need a wrapper DIV that we'll consider a console.
The CSS
#console pre { font-family:Courier; font-size:11px; background:#000; color:lightgreen; margin:0 0 20px 0; padding:10px; }
#console h3 { color:navy; padding:3px 0; }
I like making this look like a command-line console.
The MooTools JavaScript
window.addEvent('domready',function() {
new Hash(window).each(function(value,property) {
new Element('h3',{ text: property }).inject('console');
new Element('pre',{ text: value }).inject('console');
});
});
Depending on what you have loaded into the page as a JavaScript framework, the amount stored within the window object will vary.
Fun! You could opt to just log all of this to Firebug's console but the above works in all browsers.

For maximum performance, we all know we must put our assets on CDN (another domain). Along with those assets are custom web fonts. Unfortunately custom web fonts via CDN (or any cross-domain font request) don't work in Firefox or Internet Explorer (correctly so, by spec) though...
I work with an awesome cast of developers at Mozilla, and one of them in Daniel Buchner. Daniel's shared with me an awesome strategy for detecting when nodes have been injected into a parent node without using the deprecated DOM Events API.
I published a post a year ago detailing how you can copy to the clipboard using JavaScript. The post was very popular and why would it be? Copying content from a webpage without needing to use the default browser functions is awesome. One trend I've...
