Get all Javascript Variables?

Question

Is there a way for javascript to detect all assigned variables? For example, if one js file creates a bunch of vars (globally scoped), can a subsequent file get all the vars

For Firefox, you can see the DOM tab -- easy, though not an answer to your question.

The for in loop provided in Kinopiko's answer will work, but not in IE. More is explained in the article linked below.

For IE, use the RuntimeObject.

if(this.RuntimeObject){
    void function() {
        var ro = RuntimeObject(),
            results = [],
            prop;
        for(prop in ro) {
            results.push(prop);
        }
        alert("leaked:\n" + results.join("\n"));
    }();
}
