We have a very large JavaScript application where after many months of coding there have inevitably sprung a couple scope slip ups where a variable is defined in the following fashion: function() { x = 5; ... } instead of: function() { var x = 5; ... } This is happening somewhere -- We're not sure where -- and s...
Hello, I get the following error in firebug in Firefox 3 with both MooTools and jQuery: "p.onStatusChange is not a function". I've noticed this error frequently in firebug since one of the latest updates of FF3. However, it has started appearing with code that hasn't been changed in some time and that was not reporting errors previous...
I'm always hearing that Firebug is the best for web dev. I prefer to use a webkit based browser, and I use Safari 4, or Webkit. I don't mind the web inspector. That's the background. I'm wondering what features does firebug have that Safari 4 does not? If it's compelling, sure i'll give it a shot, but i've been working with it today...
I just started a new project with the Dojo toolkit, and no sooner did I drop my dojo.js script tag in than firebug started telling me Could not load 'dojo._firebug.firebug'; last tried './_firebug/firebug.js' I know dojo has a reputation for bad debugging messages, but this is ridiculous.... If anyone has any ideas about this I would...
If you're using Firebug (Firefox) and you type in javascript in the Console command line and press enter it executes. However, for good reason, when you expand the command line into a multi-line text area to the right then pressing enter does not execute the code. Instead you have to click Run at the lower left of this window. Is there ...

I mean to say that this Jquery Ajax is working fine when i see it as a user, but when i see the html using the Fire bug it is not updated. This has blocked my further functiona...
I often find myself wanting to debug CSS layout issues that involve DOM changes caused by Javascript in reaction to a hover event or different CSS rules applying due to the :hover selector. Normally, I'd use Firebug to inspect the element that's giving me trouble and see what its CSS properties were, and where those properties come from...

I can't seem to find any help on this but under the NET tab in Firebug one of my sites is showing red highlighted items. Unfortunately the site is protected right now so I can't posted the link. Can anyone answer what this means? (image here) http://imgur.com/hueWT.gif ...
See this screenshot from Firebug's Net tab: I know that: The time between 1 and 2 is the time taken by my app to generate the HTML and for the data to make its way to the browser. The time between 3 and 4 is the time taken by my JavaScript initialization code which runs on DOMContentLoaded. But what about the time between 2 and 3?...
I have a <select> list which has been populated with several options, but want to remove those options to start again. I am using Jquery, and have tried: $("#selectId").length = 0; but this seems to have no effect. Part of my problem is that I am using firebug to debug, but the code does not break at the breakpoint, so I cannot s...

I went to the Script tab of Firebug and opened the Watch pane and entered s into the area that says "New watch expression". I get an error: ReferenceError: s is not defined Why? ...
I have a bunch of console.log calls in my JavaScript. Should I comment them out before I deploy to production? I'd like to just leave them there so I don't have to go to the trouble of removing the comments later on if I need to do any more debugging. Is this a bad idea? ...
So I'm at the stage in web programming where I'm past the "Look, Ma, I can put data in a grid and it shows up on the page." I'm now at the, wow, this site is not as snappy as I want it to be. So, I enabled the "Net" tab in Firebug, closed my eyes, crossed my fingers, and went spelunking. The first thing I noticed is that all of my .as...
I'm fairly new to both tools and need to go hardcore with both as I manage, monitor, and tweak a new site's design process. What sort of strategies should I ask be implemented that sets a good solid foundation for debugging, testing, and logging? [to the degree that back-end stuff can play a role - it's .net mvc thx ...
Are there tools other than Firebug Lite that might help one get into Internet Explorer's buggy little mind and find out precisely where and why it's mangling my CSS so badly? Firebug Lite is a useful tool of course, but it seems to be missing the crucial feature (present in the 'full' Firebug plugin) that allows you to see which parts o...
