Debugging Javascript with FireBug

Friday, May 12, 2006 10:06 PM

Even though I haven't had a chance to use it yet, I felt I should pass along what looks to be an incredible tool for debugging JavaScript - FireBug. I stumbled upon it via this great writeup:

An in depth look at the future of Javascript Debugging with FireBug

The more and more true Javascript that I write, the more I find the need for a solid debugging platform. Moving away from the venerable "alert debugging" so many of us are used to. It's one thing when all you're doing is hiding and showing DOM elements. However, take for instance my Flickr Notes implementation. For that, and any increasingly complicated applications, you simply NEED to be able to debug.

So, check out FireBug... I am certainly going to.

Firebug is really bad-ass... I've been using it for some time now, made my life a lot easier.

Hopefully it goes without saying that the developer toolbar for firefox is also invaluable. Get it here: http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/

Ian,

Of course it goes without saying that the developer toolbar is awesome. Naturally, in this age of every-brower-does-it's-own-thing, the IE Developer toolbar is equally useful. Especially for DOM inspection.

So, you've got some pictures up on your site, but when are you going to get some actual content?! And, AND.. a link back to me :-)

OK, so I have some actual content, AND, and, AAAAND a link to your site, but I see nothing new on yours, including a link to MY site. What the hell?

First off, I saw your content today and it's actually pretty decent :-). Keep up the good work.

Second, I officially broke my ability to post new entries the other day when I added commenting to my Projects page. Don't ask.

Rest assured, I have more content to post (along with your link), once I get this mess figured out. Unfortunately, I'm smack in the middle of adding another project or two to the site. I suppose I should just comment that out and fix it.

As an act of good faith, I've added a link to your site on my *other* blog, the one with even less content than this one: http://dustyd.blogspot.com

Chew on that for a while :-)
