Display object contents - JS/jQuery

Question

With $(this).data(\"events\"); returning [object Object], I need to see what\'s actually going on in there. I found this:

var Finder =         


        

Answer 1

Print content of object you can use

console.log(obj_str);

you can see the result in console like below.

Object {description: "test"} 

For open console press F12 in chrome browser, you will found console tab in debug mode.

Answer 2

If you can't use console.log then alert( $(this).data("events").toSource() ) can also be used.

Answer 3

You can use .toSource() to turn JavaScript objects into a string representation that you can view without a nice error console like in Firebug or Chrome Dev. Tools:

alert($(this).data("events").toSource());

Answer 4

console.log($(this).data("events")) in Chrome (or other browsers) would allow you to drill into the object.

Ctrl+Shift+J gets you to the console in Chrome.
