After a positive experience with Venkman for XUL development some time ago, I am trying it on a page in Firefox now. I am a bit rusty and can’t get over the first hurdle of setting the cono page to the console’s evaluation context.
My procedure:
- Installed Venkman add-on from mozilla.org
- Loaded my page and selected Tools -> JavaScript Debugger
- When Venkman comes up, select Open Windows tab and expand “Browser Window”
- Right-click my page and select “Set as Evaluation Object”. The console title changes, indicating contect: example_page.html.
- In the console, I input document.title but the result is still “JavaScript Debugger”
Does anybody have any thoughts? For this job, I really would prefer Venkman. Thanks.
Unless somebody has a better solution, I’m going with…
Use Firebug instead.
