Is there something like "Firebug for IE" (for debugging JavaScript)?
(16 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I am having hard time with a website design in IE. its actually working fine in mozilla, chrome, opera and safari but very messy in IE. so my question "Is there any plugin like firebug for IE"?.
For IE9+, just hit F12 for developer tools.
For older IE (8 and below), you got Debug Bar or Microsoft Script Editor which ships with Office 2003 (weird isn't it? why debugging tools ship with office tools. MS is really weird)
Yes, to an extent. Take a look here for more info - http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite
Good luck and have fun with IE!
IE 9 has development tools similar to Firebug. Just press F12
not that I'm aware of, but you can turn on script debugging if that helps. this link is old but may still be useful: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2004/10/26/247912.aspx
You can use the Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=18359

I noticed Chromium has an interesting feature in the inspector/debugger: Event Listeners.
I haven't found the equivalent feature in Firefox Firebug. I saw a question from a couple years ago that said Firefox does not have an equivalent feature, but I'm wondering if there has been any update on this... Is there an addon yet for Firebug that lists listeners? Or, is there something about Firefox's implementation that makes this not practical?
Now, this feature is natively in the firefox inspector, you not need firebug anymore :)

There's Eventbug which is Firebug extension.
Also, since Firebug 1.12 beta 1, you can type getEventListeners(element) in the command line. However this needs specifying the exact element from which you want to retrieve event listeners.
have a javascript code to exec on a page - all works fine in Firefox, IE, Chrome but does not work in Opera 10+.
Strange is that this javascript works fine in previous versions of Opera (9.xx is fine) and even more strange is that when I lunch Dragonfly on Opera 10+ the javascript works also fine (and Dragonfly does not throw any errors).
Have anyone experienced this behavior and found any solution/workaround?
As the js code is quite complicated, huge and part of it dynamically generated I am not posting any sample of it - my question is just about the behavior and if someone has any experiencies with debuging/resolving.
Thanks,
Jan
It sounds like a bug in Opera's Just In Time (JIT) compilation. I assume that it worked in 10.10 but broke in 10.50 and above. Does it work if you disable this option: opera:config#jit ?
I would very much appreciate a bug report with code - https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/ . If you report the bug number here I can follow up a little bit faster :).
Check this Tools..Preferences..Advanced..Content..Javascript options
Or tools..Quick preferences..ensure "enable Javascript checked"
Or you have overridden these with site preferences or user mode stuff.
I'm typing this in Opera 10.60 with no problems, admittedly not as developer or with Dragonfly running
Try: Tools -> Advanced -> Error Console
I have some code that I thought I had written so that it would play nice on IE. But apparently it does not. I use IE8 for my testing and get quite frustrated with the built-in debugging 'tool'. I found that firebug has a javascript tool that debugs for IE but I have to click it for every page, wait for it to load and then test my script. Is there a way to make IE ALWAYS load the firebug .js file? I tried searching for way to set up a custom header file for my IE installation but was unsuccessful.
Is there another tool out there that would be better/easier to use? Another way to test scripts for IE compatibility?
IE7 and 8 provided the IE developer toolbar. This is similar to firebug for DOM inspection, script debugging and style tracing.
Edit:
For IE 8, the toolbar is already packaged with the browser:
The Developer Toolbar is not compatible with Internet Explorer 8. Please use the developer tools included with Internet Explorer 8. Press F12 or click the 'Developer Tools' entry in the Tools menu to begin using the tool. Click here for more information on IE8 Developer Tools.
You can also use Visual Studio and attach to the process in question, then just debug in VS. Pretty good debugging tools, and lets you debug IE6 as well.
Try my log4javascript, which is a logging library that works in every major browser, including IE 5 and later.
see my question on title.
note that I understand how to debug javascript in any browsers (including IE 7++) other than IE 6.
IE Developer Toolbar really good to have for any developer.
IE Developer Toolbar
Microsoft script debugger can provide a bit of information.
But in general - it's a pain in * * *.
Last time figured out what's wrong by gradually commenting out javascript code. :D
You can also use firebug lite.
Personally I'm a big fan of FireBug Lite which is perfect for IE.
Firebug is an extension for Firefox, but what happens when you need to test your pages in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari?
The solution is Firebug Lite, a
JavaScript file you can insert into
your pages to simulate some Firebug
features in browsers that are not
named "Firefox".
Firebug Lite creates the variable
"firebug" and doesn't affect or
interfere with HTML elements that
aren't created by itself.
Firebug Lite has helped me out quite a lot =)

What are your favorite JavaScript debugging tools besides Firebug?
Thanks,

Duplicate: JavaScript Debugger
For IE, Developer Toolbar.
For Opera, Dragonfly.
For cross-browser log output, Blackbird (though it currently has some CSS class naming issues that need to be resolved).
I use the Web Developer extension -- for DOM/CSS stuff, but usually related to JS. For stuff that works in FF, but not in IE I debug in Visual Studio. I've also got the Developer Toolbar installed in IE and have the Develop menu turned on in Safari.
EDIT: There's also Venkman.
alert FTW!!!
Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar is definitely one that rocks on IE for web development debugging. It's better for DOM inspection and browsing than firebug in my opinion and much less powerful when it comes to javascript.
Google Chrome also comes with some handy little developer tools, especially for javascript, just use Page Control (the page icon beside address bar) -> Developer and you'll see a javascript debugger there.
Opera has yet another developer menu: Tools -> Advanced -> Developer Tools (http://www.opera.com/dragonfly/).
My favorite is a combination of IE developer toolbar for HTML+CSS and Firebug for JavaScript and other stuff that's a little more sophisticated.
