Cast javascript object to array. How to?

Question

I have made this sandbox test:

Answer 1

Among many other small utilities for manipulating objects and arrays, Underscore.js offers a toArray(obj) helper method. Documentation here: http://underscorejs.org/#toArray

It's not totally obvious from the way the documentation is written, but it works like a charm on arbitrary objects. When given an object, it iterates over the values and returns a list that contains just those values.
