Fire bug - An invaluble tool for debugging

If you have been into web programming, you will know its hard to develop front screens than to write the backend business classes. Also debugging Java Script is also a head headache. Fire Bug is a plugin for firefox that saves valuble time in web application development. It has nice features like inspecting the html elements, it shows the CSS applied. You can also see the Java Script.

You can also view POST headers that are sent to the server. One more interesting feature is you can edit the HTML in the browser and see it work.




The above picture is a snap shot of the Firebug tool. You cant use it in IE , one close too that is a substitue for it in IE is Fiddler , but it no where comes close to Firebug in terms of the richness of features.
