What’s good is that it’s available on both Mac and PC. That’s a lot considering how I watch my money. The best thing about Firebug is how much time it saves you on debugging. If some ajax call is messing up and the page isn’t showing the response correctly, I open Firebug. If some javascript functionality is not working I open Firebug and enter debug statements. If something doesn’t look right I open Firebug and find out what styles are being inherited.

It is the single best tool you can have when debugging a webpage. I don’t know how I used to develop web pages before Firebug. Keywords: iphone safari on desktop, iphone firebugįiled Under: Coding Tagged With: css, firebug, iPhone Firebug I prefer the first solution over this one because obviously, Firebug is very small on the iPhone. Once the page loads, select the bookmark named “Firebug” and it will run firebug on the page.Remove the URL and paste the copied code into the bookmark. Javascript:(function(F,i,r,e,b,u,g,L,I,T,E))(document,'createElement','setAttribute','getElementsByTagName','FirebugLite','4','firebug-lite.js','releases/lite/latest/skin/xp/sprite.png','','#startOpened') Tap the code below twice and choose “Select All” and then “Copy”.Open this page in your iPhone browser and bookmark it.Other that it’s great!Ī second option to debug a website in the iPhone is by using Firebug Lite.

To “unfreeze” it I had to quit both the simulator and iWebInspector and start over. Another thing I noticed is that the Simulator freezes from time to time. A way around this is to add attributes to the element.style section for the element you want to alter. One thing annoying is that you can’t add CSS attributes to existing CSS classes.
