A simple guide to using Firebug
Phil Rees has written up a nice introduction to Firebug, showing us how you can use Firebug to:
- Inspect custom stylesheets included by Google Mashup Editor
- Modify in-memory stylesheets to see the changes reflected immediately
- Place watches and breakpoints into running JavaScript
- Execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of your running application
- Monitor Ajax calls, showing response times, posted content, and results
- Profile JavaScript functions to help you identify bottlenecks and optimize your application.
The article walks through all of these points using Phil’s DanceMaps mashup using the Google Mashup Editor.
