In the old version of Chrome (not sure which version, I know it was quite some time ago), I could type the following into a console using the Chrome Developer Tools, and it would give me all associated properties of the newly created object:
document.createElement('a');
Now, when I do the same, I'm given very little back, and I can barely do anything with the returned item in the console, whereas I would just like to inspect it.
chrome-dev-tools
How do I view all the properties of this element, etc. as with the old version of Chrome - so I can inspect all properties and their values?
Many thanks.

Thanks! Is there a reason they took this behaviour out by default?

I don't think there's a changelog for the chrome devtools to look at, but I think it makes more sense - think about it, how would you "print" out the result of something by default? with
console.log or console.dir?Explore related questions
