FireBug, AJAX Debugging Done Right

FireBug is a new tool for Firefox that aids with debugging Javascript, DHTML, and Ajax. It is like a combination of the Javascript Console, DOM Inspector, and a command line Javascript interpreter.

It wins me over because you can:

  • . . . log specific DOM elements with your mouse.
  • . . . log and inspect objects from the command line.
  • . . . have per tab Javascript/DOM debugging.

It also wins some bonus points for having a built in XmlHttpRequest sniffer.
