JavaScript Var_dump (Mark 2)

Same as var_dump for PHP, but for JavaScript.  Useful if you do not have Firebug.

A typical useage:

document.write(var_dump(ANY-JS-VAR,'html'));


     function var_dump(data,addwhitespace,safety,level) {
        var rtrn = '';
        var dt,it,spaces = '';
        if(!level) {level = 1;}
        for(var i=0; i/g,'>');
                 dt = dt.replace(//g,'>');
                 dt = dt.replace(/");
           }//end if addwhitespace == html
           return dt;
        }//end if typeof != object && != array
        for (var x in data) {
           if(safety && (level > safety)) {
              dt = '*RECURSION*';
           } else {
              try {
                 dt = var_dump(data[x],addwhitespace,safety,level+1);
              } catch (e) {continue;}
           }//end if-else level > safety
           it = var_dump(x,addwhitespace,safety,level+1);
           rtrn += it + ':' + dt + ',';
           if(addwhitespace) {
              rtrn += '\n'+spaces;
           }//end if addwhitespace
        }//end for...in
        if(addwhitespace) {
           rtrn = '{\n' + spaces + rtrn.substr(0,rtrn.length-(2+(level*3))) + '\n' + spaces.substr(0,spaces.length-3) + '}';
        } else {
           rtrn = '{' + rtrn.substr(0,rtrn.length-1) + '}';
        }//end if-else addwhitespace
        if(addwhitespace == 'html') {
           rtrn = rtrn.replace(/ /g," ").replace(/\n/g,"
");
        }//end if addwhitespace == html
        return rtrn;
     }//end function var_dump
