Howdy y'all... first timer (posting) here, and probably with a dumb question, here goes...

Is there any way to show the user all the global javascript variables that are available?


In other words, say I have a web page with a simple script (in the html head):



Is there a way to access the names of those variables, perhaps through the window object?

The purpose of this is debugging... I have an input textbox and a button, and when the user clicks the button, it "evaluates" the contents of the textbox using "window[document.forms[0].txt[0].value]".

So if the user enters "aaaa" and presses the button, it tells them that the value of aaaa is 2.

But if they don't know the case-sensitive name and spelling of the variable, or perhaps didn't even know it existed, I want to give them a list of all the variables. Is this possible? Does it make sense?
