Debugging CSS, AJAX and DOM with Firebug 55
prostoalex writes "Joe Hewitt of Parakey in the latest Dr. Dobb's Journal provides a detailed overview of the Firebug extension for Firefox: 'Firebug breaks the page down into a set of tabs that depict its most important aspects — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the DOM, network activity, and a console for errors and log messages. No tab is an island; Firebug lets you browse code just as you browse the Web by presenting objects as hyperlinks that can take you from one view to another.'"

It would be a shame if everyone installs 0.4 and misses out on all the great new stuff in 1.0.

DOM Inspector was actually written by the same person who wrote Firebug: myself, 6 years ago. There is no reason to use DOM Inspector any longer. Firebug does everything it does and more, but with a much more pleasant and modern user interface.

Perhaps you haven't tried Firebug 1.0, which allows you to open Firebug as a separate window. Versions prior to 1.0 did restrict you to a panel at the bottom of the browser.

This addon does not appear to be Free (as in speech) and also only runs on Windows.
I much prefer HTML Validator [skynet.be]. I find both the Tidy and W3C validators incredibly useful. The Tidy function to clean up existing markup is also rather handy.
