You probably want to use console.log(). It just prints the parameters in the firebug console. More info can be found on http://getfirebug.com/logging.

You could use something like the YUI Logger control - http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/logger/ - which puts a log window on your webpage that you can write debugging messages to and clear/hide/etc.

Or you could try a javascript shell bookmarklet that opens a separate shell in the context of the main window. One example is available at https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html, and there may be others.

You can use a breakpoint on this variable. You can find explanations for the Chrome Inspector here: http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/docs/scripts-breakpoints.html
