I was in FireBug‘s website today trying to find any new helpful tricks. I found FireBug Lite. I don’t know if you were using it a long time ago while I was in my cave or what, but any way, it’s a nice tool.

 

Firebug Lite is a simple tool that allows you to use the normal Firebug consol in IE, Opera and Safari. I have been using it all the day with IE7 and Opera 9.1 and it’s working very well except for some little problem with Opera, but it’s still helpful. using Firebug Lite allowed me to use the consol methods [consol.info(), consol.log() ..etc] in the other browsers without problems or errors. if you were using these methods before to cleanly test your code in FF, so you know that you had to remove these methods from your code when testing on other browsers and this is a boring thing.

 

Firebug Lite is a zipped file that you will extract on your website, then include the firebug.js file in your HTML page. now try to test your page in other browser than FF. to see the console, click shift+ctrl+L or F12. I prefer the first one as F12 won’t work on Opera.

 

if you are using the IE Developer toolbar, firebug Lite will be helpful too as the IE Developer tollbar is still in beta and it’s not fully functioning yet.
