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.

CSS has become more and more powerful over the past few years and CSS transforms are a prime example. CSS transforms allow for sophisticated, powerful transformations of HTML elements. One or more transformations can be applied to a given element and transforms can even be animated...
