How do you display object properties in a pop up window?

Alex Fenton, Dee Syms,

Try this function - 
function popUpProperties(inobj) {
	op = window.open();
	op.document.open('text/plain');
	for (objprop in inobj) {
	op.document.write(objprop + ' => ' + inobj[objprop] + '\n');
	}
	op.document.close();
}
then call it from anywhere, passing it a reference to any Javascript 
object.
e.g.:
// show an input element's properties when it's clicked
<input type="button" name="whatever" onclick="popUpProperties(this)"> 
// show all the properties for the document when a link is clicked
<a href="javascript:popUpProperties(document)">my link</a>
