How to get function parameter names/values dynamically?

Question

Is there a way to get the function parameter names of a function dynamically?

Let’s say my function looks like this:

function doSomething(param1, par

You can access the argument values passed to a function using the "arguments" property.

    function doSomething()
    {
        var args = doSomething.arguments;
        var numArgs = args.length;
        for(var i = 0 ; i < numArgs ; i++)
        {
            console.log("arg " + (i+1) + " = " + args[i]);  
                    //console.log works with firefox + firebug
                    // you can use an alert to check in other browsers
        }
    }

    doSomething(1, '2', {A:2}, [1,2,3]);
