Fire(bug)

Posted in Ajax, Javascript by sandaruwan on October 23rd, 2007

Note : Before you read this blog post, if you are a web developer/designer and you have never tried firebug, then stop all your work and try that.

As you might already know, the best tool to debug a web frontend is firebug. It’s really easy and efficient. When you get used to it, you can’t actually live without it.

I was working on a web project for several months now, and there was a very strange behavior on that site. Everytime I go there, firebug stops working. That’s very annoying specially when that site is AJAX (and when there are lot of bugs there ;)).

Today, I found what makes firebug stop. I was using “parent” as a variable name. The site works perfectly with it but firebug didn’t manage to handle that.
