Load javascript via Firebug console

Question

How can I load a javascript file via Firebug console ?

This would be useful in development, so I don\'t have to modify the html code to load the script.

Answer 1

Just ran into the same problem, and - as jQuery is used in the project anyway - I decided to do a simple:

$.getScript('example.js')

Or:

$.getScript('example.js', function () { doSomethingOnceLoaded(); })

Alternatively, I may code JavaScript directly in Firebug, using the console with the text entry pane on the right side. Activate it with the triangle button in the lower right hand corner.
