Console logging and debugging with Firebug

Guy and Girls…

Firebug rocks. If you haven’t been using it already you shouldn’t really call yourself a JavaScript programmer, or a web developer for that matter.

Get Firebug installed and read the tutorial on logging and debugging. It makes your code a heck of a lot cleaner and removes the need for annoying alerts everywhere!

If you’re not using Firefox, firstly why not? and secondly here’s a list of web development tools for Internet Explorer. Go fill ya boots! However, a better solution exists for those who are Firebug enthusiasts but have crappybrowseritus, this is something I’ve not tried out but should work for IE, Opera and Safari browsers. Use Firebug Lite to debug javascript in IE, Safari and Opera – if you have tried this, please let me know how you got on.

Cheers
