Getting supported methods of objects

Hello,

I am working on a utility script to browse the supported objects in a
browser. I know I can get the object members, by:

for( member in eval(obj_name) )

but, is there something similar for getting all of the methods?

Thanks,
Brian

.... but you shoudn't use eval like that. If obj_name contains the name
of a global variable, just write "window[obj_name]". If nothing else,
it is probably orders of magnitude faster that using eval.

but, is there something similar for getting all of the methods?

There is no difference between "members" and "methods" in Javascript.
They are all object properties. The for(..in..) construction iterates
throught all the *enumerable* properties. There is no easy way to find
the names of non-enumerable properties (like all the properties of
the array prototype). So, no.
