Since I started doing JavaScript and Ajax development I have always been frustrated with the lack of a good debugging tool for Internet Explorer. Firefox has Firebug, which is outstanding.
I think I may have finally found a solution – http://www.debugbar.com/
This can be a big help for those Ajax calls and JavaScript functions that work in Firefox but just don't seem to work right in IE.
Some of the features…
- See every Ajax request, the response headers, and the source code.
- View all the linked and inline scripts, html, and css in any loaded page.
- An enhanced JavaScript console
- HTML check – for validation
There are also some nice extras in there, such as the color picker, window resizing to preset sizes, and the ability to e-mail screen shots when an error occurs.
Well this is very interesting indeed.Would love to read a little more of this. Great post. Thanks for the heads-up…This blog was very informative and knowledgeable
I would recommend avoiding this tool and using the built in IE dev tools (press f12) instead.
You are correct. This article was from 2007 – before IE had any built-in debugging.
