Sometimes i forget to remove firebug console commands when debuging, which makes IE and some other browsers fail / cry.

Every function has an object called the arguments object. This is an object that contains all the arguments that were passed to the function. The example below shows how to access these. Very rarely used but useful to know. Note: it may look like an...
