What Do The Firebug Dom Colors Mean?

I'm confused with these colors. I noticed there are 4 colors showing in the left hand column of FireBug DOM tree: Bold black Black Bold green Green In the right hand column: Blu

Solution 1:

Here is the correct answer.

Bold Black                   Objects
Black                        DOM objects
get in gray                  "Getter" functions
Bold green                   User functions
Green                        DOM functions
Bold Red                     Constructor functions

Solution 2:

From http://getfirebug.com/dom.html

Objects are color coded so that HTML elements, numbers, strings, functions, arrays, objects, and nulls are all easy to distinguish.

But I can't be bothered to lookup which color represents what. With this info I bet you can make that out yourself

Solution 3:

After digging into it a little further I got the answer:

In the left column:

Black are properties and green are methods. Bold means the member was declared "by the user" meaning the members aren't from the default javascript/DOM framework.

In the right column:

Numbers are blue, strings are red. Objects appear as a "instance preview" in which the type name and the member names are green and the member values are gray
