There’s also a firebug knock off in the Mootools library (found in the “Misc” folder in the trunk at dev.mootools.net; yeah, it could be better publicized). You can see it in action on my wikitorial for Mootools:

Reiner: different. They’ve made a point of saying that they have no intention to directly compete with Firebug, and it looks like the tool will work quite differently by the time it starts really taking shape.

Even if they made a Firebug clone, I’d have both installed. Not like I only keep one browser around for development and testing, anyway.

Microsoft provides a homegrown dev bar for IE, which is free.

There’s a firebug knockoff for IE:

Ofcourse, it is not free.

Actually in VS 2005 there is Script Explorer which can easily debug JavaScript under IE.

So, is this better than firebug? Different?

A ‘firebug’ knockoff for opera would be great; there’s plenty of times something works in firefox but crashes on other browsers. Now if only there was something like firebug for IE and safari as well, we’d be all set :-P

all they need is a syntax highlighting JS editor, and inline doc lookup, and we can ditch our SLIME for good

great – can’t wait to try this out when theres a 64bit linux version of opera..since its damn near impossible to get firebug working on minefield without errors, not to mention firefox uses so much RAM that theres no room left for emacs when developing..
