How do you use Firebug?
Can someone please shed some light on how to use Firebug? I know this is a dumb question, but when I have a site I'm trying to test for errors, I can't seem to get it to tell me anything.
Step one... view source
Step two, open firebug
Step three????? |

Re: How do you use Firebug?
You just press the button in the bottom right of the browser window. I haven't got it installed yet (new hard drive) but I'm sure that's how it works.

Re: How do you use Firebug?
Yes, I can see the little button on the bottom right of the screen. When I click that it opens the firebug program.
Then what do you do.
I see words like Console | HTML | CSS | Script | Dom | Net
I'll have a look at Firebug's plugin setup page and see what I can find. |

Re: How do you use Firebug?
Well, here is what there home page said: Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of web development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page. |

Re: How do you use Firebug?
When you open firebug through the little button, you should get the source on one side and the css on the other.
Then, on the source side, you click on the + and it opens up and you just keep going down. When you get to a div you can hover over it and watch the browser while you do. It should highlight the portion of the page the div is using. You can go on the lift side and add styling too and it will show up automatically on the browser. |

Re: How do you use Firebug?
Ok.. thanks Karinne!
I played a bit with it last night. If you go to the Console button and test, it will show errors in the code if there are any.
