Firebug - how to retrieve/manipulate an object inspected in the DOM tab (similar to $0 for the HTML tab)?

[Lobo]

I've posted the following message on the firebug group, but so far no
response.

http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/9504674b8817692b

So I'll try here in case any of you know the answer ...

How can I retrieve via variable an object inspected in the DOM tab?.

If I execute somewhere in my javascript code
[ console.log(anObject) ], then how can I assign and manipulate that
object from the console?.

I need a similar behavior as "$0" (which applies to the HTML tab) but
for the DOM tab.

Many thanks.

Probably because you need to ask that question the smart way.

You can't "retrieve via variable an object".

`anObject' is a reference to your object, so …

You can't select an object in the DOM tab like a node in the HTML tab, so …
