Firebug support for Non-firefox browsers

Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to test your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari?

The solution is Firebug Lite, a JavaScript file you can insert into your pages to simulate some Firebug features in browsers that are not named “Firefox”.

Firebug Lite creates the variable “firebug” and doesn’t affect or interfere with HTML elements that aren’t created by itself.

Installing Firebug Lite 1.2

Insert this line of code into any page that you want to contain Firebug lite:

Firebug Lite can be used as bookmarklet too. For detailed information regarding bookmarklet and other customisable features of it, kindly visit http://getfirebug.com/lite.html

IETester & DebugBar

Recently I came across a very interesting application called IETester. It s a free WebBrowser that allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE8, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Vista and XP. Though it sounds similar to the popular Multiple IEs, it has few things which make IETester very different from Multiple IEs.

The main difference are

  • View source code option which doesn’t work in Multiple IEs properly.
  • Support for DebugBar which is free for personal use. DebugBar is similar to FireBug addon available for Firefox. It provides
    • DOM Inspector: View DOM Tree and modify tags attributes and css attributes on the fly to test your page
    • HTTP Inspector: View HTTP/S request to check cookies, GET and POST parameters, view server info
    • Javascript Inspector and Javascript Console: View javascript functions for easier debugging, see Javascript and AJAX code
    • HTML Validator: Validate HTML code to correct and optimize your code and html size of your page
    • And many more features: See page cookies, get pixel color on a page, make a page screenshot, etc…

Firefox 3: Text selection and general in-page goodness

[] Double click a word to select it; triple click to select a paragraph. If you need to select multiple batches of text, hold down Ctrl and select at will.

[] Changes have also been made to the way the zooming feature works. Hold down Ctrl and move the mousewheel (alternatively, press + or -). Firefox will zoom in or out the entire site; both text and images. Want to switch to the old, text-only way of zooming? Click on View in the menu and choose Zoom, then Zoom text only. Your preference will be remembered on a per-site basis.

[] There’s been a tiny but useful change to the “Find” toolbar; select text inside a web page, then hit Ctrl+F, and the selected text will automatically be entered into the Find field.
