Using Firebug v1.20b7 with Firefox v3.0.1 I use firebug a lot for web devlopment. I have very often the problem that Firebug won't show its web console for seeing the POSTs and GETs. I can view all the other tabs, including the NET tab that gives me a lot of the same information that the CONSOLE tab does. Curious if anyone else has had...
Trying to fix JavaScript bugs is huge pain as is determining the styles applied to an element. Firebug makes these issues a lot easier when working on Firefox, but what do you do when the code works fine on Firefox but IE is complaining? ...
I can easily set breakpoints in embedded JS functions, but I don't see any way of accessing extarnal JS scripts via Firebug unless I happen to enter them during a debug session. Is there a way to do this w/o having to 'explore' my way into the script? @Jason: This is a good point, but in my case I do not have easy access to the script. ...
I want to use a real IDE for editing javascript files in combination with Firebug. In the 'Add editor' dialog for Firebug I'm allowed to specify executable and arguments. So the question is really how do I open a file in Eclipse/Netbeans from the command line. Extra points for allowing me to choose between opening a new Eclipse/netbean...
Ok, so I am finally trying out FirePHP. I installed it and restarted firefox, enabled firebug for my localhost, moved the demo oo.php file that comes with the download into an IIS virtual directory, changed the include path, removed the apache_request_headers() call since I am running IIS and the only output I see? Notice: Undefined...
All front-end developers know the pain of coding for Firefox, then viewing our then mangled pages in IE6. IE6 is still widely used (it is, however disappearing slowly but surely... in a year and a half from the writing of this, it will be irrelevant as usage will be less than 1%) We usually used IE conditional comments to create separat...
I have a URI here in which a simple document.cookie query through the console is resulting in three cookies being displayed. I verified this with trivial code such as the following as well: var cookies = document.cookie.split(';'); console.log(cookies.length); The variable cookies does indeed come out to the number 3. Web Developer o...
I really should upgrade to Firefox 3, but I'm very dependent on Firebug working properly. I know there is a version of Firebug that is supposed to work with Firefox 3, but last time I looked, there seemed to be problems with it. So, for those that have made the jump, is Firebug on Firefox 3 ready for prime time? ...
Is there a way in Firebug to start a new script file to apply to page? Basically I want to do work like I'd normally do on the Firebug console but be able to to paste in multi-line functions, etc. It doesn't seem like the console is amenable to that. ...
I'm way buried in many nested levels of css, and I can't tell which style layer/level is messing up my display. How can I find out everything that's being applied to a particular element? ...
I'm seeing an ambiguous error in Firebug. I don't think it's particularly related to the script I'm writing, however I don't have enough details to be able to determine that from this one error alone. Has anyone seen something similar and have a suggestion? error: [Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERR...
e.g., does this exist: console.clear()? ...
After waffling for months I've installed Firefox 3 on my development machine and am regretting it, because the new Firebug is sucking my will to live. Flakiness aside--it's not catching basic syntax errors--there's a whole new layer of UI all over everything, and it's making me THINK. Please, can somebody tell me the series of choice...
I think every web developer loves Firefox's Firebug extension for solving CSS, Javascript or HTTP problems. I use it very often, but I'm sure that I'm not aware of some hidden gems. What is your favorite (not evident) trick or tip for Firebug? ...
FireBug is the most convenient tool I've found for editing CSS - so why isn't there a simple "Save" option? I am always finding myself making tweaks in FireBug, then going back to my original .css file and replicating the tweaks. Has anyone come up with a better solution? EDIT: I'm aware the code is stored on a server (in most cases n...
Specifically, we've got some external JavaScript tracking code on our sites that throws itself into an infinite loop each time an anchor is clicked on. We don't maintain the tracking code, so we don't know exactly how it works. Since the code causes the browser to lock up almost immediately, I was wondering if there's anyway to log the...
Is there a better way to debug JavaScript than MS Script Editor? Like FireBug, but not like FireBug Lite. Thanks, ...
Hi, I am tasked with a project whereby I need to create a scaled down version of a Firebug like UI where the user can load an HTML page, and as they hover the mouse over the elements they'll be highlighted. The app will allow the users to select a table to be screen-scraped....haven't got to that part as yet. Any advice? Thanks ...
Last week we released Omniture's analytics code onto a large volume of web sites after tinkering and testing for the last week or so. On almost all of our site templates, it works just fine. In a few scattered, unpredictable situations, there is a crippling, browser-crashing experience that may turn away some users. We're not able to s...
I have an internet-explorer only web application. I'm exploring what we can do to automate the testing. Selenium looks like a good tool, but to be able to activate links etc I need to tell selenium where they are. The application wasn't built with this kind of testing in mind, so there generally aren't id attributes on the key element...
