Hi,

What tools can I use to debug mobile webkit sites?
Is there a better tool than "Firebug for iPhone" or is "Firebug for iPhone" pretty much the best tool out there?

Thanks,
Tee

Why don't you use Safari and its developer tools? You can set your User-Agent string to an iPhone's user agent string and work from there. Besides, you get full access to the standard WebKit's develoepr tools.

Thanks zneak, that's great way to do it. Is there anyway I can simulate orientation using the Safari and it's developer tool route? Thanks, Tee

@teepusink: I have to agree I never thought about the need to do this with web development. It's a bit of a convoluted way, but you can, from the inspector, apply the `-webkit-transform` CSS property to rotate the body to 90 degrees: `-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg)`
