Firefox Debugging (WAS RE: [xml-dev] Re: [ubl-dev] Technology heavy-weig

["Len Bullard" <cbullard@hiwaay.net>]

Thanks Peter.  I got the same suggestion on the X3D list.  There seems to be
a consensus among some that the Firefox debugging utilities are better.

I hate to get another browser (more dlls == more dll hell == more
incompatible examples in tutorials) but I guess they peacefully co-exist on
the machine, yes?

I may do that after I finish writing this installment of the blog tutorial
and move on to the xmlhttp examples for stringing the updates into the X3D
scene through the SAI.  The idea is to have 3D sequencing components that
can be swapped in and out as the user selects new songs, thus new sequences.
Not rocket science but it lives and dies in the details of three different
languages (four if you count CSS five if SQL six if php) so better debugging
will definitely improve the tedium.

We've all become wheel-walking hamsters in the Internet power station.

If you haven't already done so, run Firefox and use FireBug, it should
improve your productivity an order of magnitude...
