iOS6 - removed console log for IPad - how to use web inspector on windows?

Question

So iOS6 is out, horrah. Now, it appears as though Apple have removed the \'Developer Console\' that used to exist in Safari. Great, I hear a lot of people say - it was limit

Answer 1

One can debug on the device by using bookmarklets (especially within Mobile Safari).

Debugging on the device can be very important if an error only appears live on the device but nowhere else. There is a variety of bookmarklets for developer, so choose the tool of your choice (e.g. Firebug Lite), add it to your bookmarks and use it right where you need it. This may not be the Developer Console, but it is a method to debug much more accurate and job-oriented.

I wrote a blogpost on how to use bookmarklets on my weblog (there is also a list of other common testing tools and further bookmarklets):

UPDATE: Chrome released its Mobile DevTools which will make debugging (within Google Chome Mobile, Android Devices only) much easier. This will not fix the missing DevTools issue within Safari, but it might help to locate errors on a device:

UPDATE2: Mozilla released a Firefox add-on to enable web development across browsers and devices: http://youtu.be/kEFbQwB81RE?t=1m58s
