Best way to inspect the contents of a big variable?

Hi,
I'm using Venkman and find it incredibly useful.  But i'm not sure how to
"see" what is inside of certain variables that contain a lot of data.

For example, my web page uses javascript to pupulate a <div> tag.  I can't
see whats in it by using View-->Source since it only exists in memory.

I put a breakpoint in my .js file using Venkman, and then in the debugger
console, I type:

document.getElementById("apis").innerHTML

but it doesn't show me the contents, it only says:

 $[0] = [string] 73078 characters

What if i want to see what those 73078 characters actually are????  Adding
it as a watch produces the same problem.


I tried sending it to an alert() dialog box, but it doesn't all fit and you
can't copy and paste from those dialog boxes either.


Any ideas???

Thanks in advance,
Paul
