Make IE 8 javascript console more information than "{...}" for objects

Question

I am trying to debug a problem that seems only in IE 7 and 8, and the debugger console is completely useless.

Each time I enter an expression that results in an object, it simply prints "{...}" on the console. I need to check the returned object, but this does not give me an easy way to do this.

Is there a way to make this look more like Chrome or Firebug debugging tools that allow me to actually validate an object?

Answer 1

You can always add a “clock expression” - this way it also displays {...}, but it is extensible and you can see the internal objects of the object.
