That is how far you review all your actions, is it not?  “Might have been 
caused”…

document.write() has never been suitable for debugging from the *console*, 
because document.write() after the document has been loaded overwrites it in 
memory/viewport in an unsafe fashion (there should be document.open() before 
and document.close() afterwards); hence window.alert() and console.log(…).

If only it were not your usual unreadable, undertested junk.

That said, Object.get*Own*PropertyNames() and Array.prototype.forEach() have 
been introduced with ECMAScript Edition 5 at the earliest (some 
implementations probably had it before it was in the Specification), and 
does not suffice for enumerating the properties of objects.
