Debugging is probably one of a developer's least favorite tasks but,
regrettably, it's an essential part of software development. Any helping hand
is therefore received with open arms and FireBug does much of the hard work
for you. FireBug is a Firefox extension that allows you to monitor and tinker
with JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and Ajax through a combination of a powerful
debugger, error console, command line, and code inspectors. There are many
other minor features to FireBug but the most important by far is the
debugger, which automatically checks your code line by line. The debugger
sets breakpoints in your scripts and examines every step of execution in real
time. Particularly handy is the FireBug icon in the Firefox status bar which
tells you instantly if your page is broken. Just open the FireBug panel and
you'll see exactly what the problem is - no more scouring through reams of
script in the JavaScript Console window. You can open Firebug in a separate
window, or as a bar at the bottom of your browser, and also configure a
blacklist of sites that you'd like it to exclude. *For any developer who has
been driven mad by debugging, FireBug provides an ultra quick, easy and
headache-free way of developing your code.*Download *FireBug 1.8.3* in
