Rails spinoffs - Jul 2007 - Prototype: 2 questions (elements' attributes, dumping methods)

hello again)

1) i just wanted to know is it possible to get element''s attributes in
hash or array?
for example something like this:
<span style="color:red;" id="myEl"
onclick="alert(1)">
..
$(''myEl'').attibutes().length // == 3

2) is there any analogues of php functions var_dump() and print_r()
for Objects/Hashes and Arrays?


thank you and sorry for bad english)

Alx.

I don''t see a built-in method.  If you loop through an element using 
for-in or $H(element).inspect() you''ll notice a lot of browser-specific
attributes that may not mean anything to you.  So the question is, with 
which attributes are you concerned? Then, just make a function that 
looks for those.  But be aware that even if style is not defined in the 
HTML, it is still a property of the element.  So you may need a regex 
that looks at innerHTML get what you need.

inspect() is probably what you need.
