<>p>Azer KoÃ§ulu has added to pi.comet with a new cross browser debugger pi.debugger.

The look is inspired by Firebug:

Calling this a debugger is a bit optimistic. A debugger allows developers to set breakpoints and navigate up and down stack frames. And until there’s a standard browser debugger API – something like JVMTI – cross-platform tools are going to be limited to exactly what we see here: basic inspection of the DOM and evaluation of script.

At first glance, this appears to be a nice, clean emulation of DOM inspection features of Firebug. It’d be nice to see it as a drop-in replacement for Firebug Lite.

if Joe Hewitt accepts, I would like to donate this to Firebug. You are right. pi.debugger doesn’t contain a breakpoint tool but you can use console commands for simple debugging.thanks, Azer.

console.debug or console.error doesn’t seem to work. One could just map them to console.log for now but log levels would be nice.

Bummer I just released a very similar (but simpler – no DOM/HTML/CSS view) debugger at http://www.zoroja.com/blog/debug-bar/

Good work though, looks very slick
