Must Have for AJAX Developers

  by namxam

This is one of the gems on my system. Whenever you have to create some AJAX interfaces, this tool comes in and supports you where ever you want. No matter if it is simple JavaScript debugging (with breakpoints) or stuff like modifying css, html or checking what messages have been send between browser and server. I love it ;)

    Firebug 1.2 ‘console’ implementation

    in the FF3 beta cycle, Firebug’s 1.1 command line stopped working. The fix for this became quite involved, eventually requiring both the command line and console to be reimplemented. I’ll describe the console first, maybe the command line next ... [More] time.
