http://labs.echoditto.com/node/77 Comments for "Firebug Inches Along" en http://labs.echoditto.com/node/77 <p>It's been too busy around these parts for me to put together a post about the exciting things happening in the DC tech community, particularly in the hobbyist electronics space (short version: <a href="http://makedc.org">they're</a> <a href="http://hacdc.org">exciting</a>!). But I can at least share this tip.</p> <p>Many of you are probably using the newly-released Firefox 3 release candidate, and it seems likely that some of you are running into the same problems with Firebug that I was, particularly when using its Javascript console. Big, angry errors with "NS" and "SECURITY" in them? Yup, that's the one.</p> <p>Well, get thee over to the <a href="http://www.getfirebug.com/releases/">firebug downloads page</a> and grab the latest alpha. It solves this problem, but introduces a new one for those debugging a jQuery-enabled page: the jQuery object is nowhere to be found.</p> <p>Actually, it's not that bad: you just need to do something like this</p> <p><code class="geshifilter php">$ <span style="color: #66cc66;">=</span> window<span style="color: #66cc66;">.</span>$<span style="color: #66cc66;">;</span></code></p> <p>Before you start mucking around with scripting from the console. It's irritating, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. And in the meantime, you could always whip up a Greasemonkey script to do this job automatically.</p> http://labs.echoditto.com/node/77#comments firebug firefox javascript Wed, 21 May 2008 11:30:04 -0700 Tom 77 at http://labs.echoditto.com
