Can someone help me come up with a console code that prints the name of each field? I had it just hours ago, and I cannot locate it again, nor come up with it on my own.

You'll find a free tool here called "Find Required Fields". It loops through all the fields on a form and displays the ones that are required in a dropdown menu. It can easily be modified to show fields with any characteristic, or all of them.

Right. So I need help fixing this:

for(var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++){
console.println(i + ": " + this.getNthFieldName(i));
}

Or even directly from the JS Ref:

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++)
console.println("Field[" + i + "] = " + this.getNthFieldName(i));

I think I don't understand console exactly right. I put that in, highlight it all, and hit ctrl+enter. I get undefined.
