This question already has answers here : Closed 3 years ago . How do I POST to a web page using Firebug? (10 answers) Is it possible to send data to the server using POST? Ie) I want to send POST data to url: http://www.a.com/b?cmd=tt With POST data: a=1 b=2 Is it doable and how? jeff Quote from Mike Cooper on a similar question: As far as I know, Firebug can't do this. However, there is a very useful Firefox extension, in the spirit of Firebug, called Tamper Data . This should be able to do what you want. It allows you to monitor each request made by the browser, and you can turn on an option

In the firefox developer tools, under the "Net" panel, resources that are loaded have their load time split into different colors/categories. These are: DNS Lookup Connecting Blocking Sending Waiting Receiving What do each of these represent, and more specifically, does any of them accurately represent the amount of time that the server is thinking (accessing the database, running algorithms, etc)? Thanks. Widor You couldn't accurately determine what the server is doing as such, I'm afraid. You can discount most of them except Waiting, however, as the rest occur before and after the server

I am using the following test code: function Test() { } Test.prototype.MyMethod = { a: function() { }, b: function() { } } And to run it I'm simply doing: var test = new Test(); console.debug(test); In the firebug console, I expand the object that was printed and look inside of __proto__ : In there find a seemingly unending chain of constructor -> prototype: +MyMethod -constructor -prototype +MyMethod -constructor -prototype +MyMethod -constructor and so on. Did I do something wrong here? Why does the prototype chain seem unending? prototype s have a property called constructor that refers to

I'm seeing the following behavior in Firebug: When the debugger is paused on a breakpoint, if I go to the console and attempt to execute a statement, the Enter key keeps just adding lines instead of executing. I've tried hitting Shift + Enter and Ctrl + Enter also, to no avail. Environment I sometimes get this issue on firebug (console), FireFox (dev console), and FireFox developer edition (dev console). Issue Using the "web console" I would type something like alert("test") and hit the enter key but it would not run. Instead of running it would enter a new line as if I hit "Shift Enter".

This question is specific to the Firebug plugin for Firefox. The actual functionality works, but I lost my ability to monitor and debug it in Firebug. I had a website which used JSON to get data. In Firebug, I was able to monitor the JSON requests. It would show me each one of them, the headers, and the data that was returned. I needed to change the server to which I submitted my JSON requests. In order to get cross-domain JSON to work, I used JSONP with the callback=? method. I got the functionality to work. However, I cannot monitor and debug my JSONP requests now in Firebug. For the record,

I have a web application which dynamically adds javascript files based on what the user chooses as options using ajax in real time to avoid refreshing the screen. I am now trying to debug these dynamically added javascript files and have tried both Google Chrome's developer tools and Firebug's pluggin for Firefox, and have noticed that the dynamically added javascript "files" do not appear, so I can't select them to add breakpoints etc. So, is there a solution for this, i.e. debugging dynamically added javascript files? You can add the debugger; statement in your dynamic scripts where you want

I have reason to believe console.log and JSON.stringify can produce inconsistent views of the same object even if it was created in a straightforward manner (see notes). Situation In both Google Chrome developer tools and Firebug, I had an object obj which console.log printed out as { players: {0: ...}, ...} , while JSON.stringify reported { players: {}, ...} . obj.players was {} under both functions, so it seems that console.log is the culprit. Could it be asynchronous/non-deterministic in some way? Additional notes I'm afraid I won't be able to provide much more context, since the code is

I'm using Firebug on Firefox 3.6.3 for Mac. I want to use Firebug to view GET and POST parameters being passed. I have Firebug open at the Net > XHR tab. The panel says 'Net panel activated'. Yet if I then go to google.com and do a search, nothing appears in the XHR tab. (All the HTML, CSS etc appears fine in the other tabs.) Where can I see the GET parameters being passed to Google in Firebug? Use the All tab in the NET panel POST parameters can be seen in the NET panel. The first line is the page and if you click the down arrow to expand it, you can see the parameters under the section

How to dock Firebug in browser window after I opened in a new window? With Firefox 3.0.8 and Firebug 1.3 on Mac OS X 10.5 I can't get it docked in the browser window back. :( How to fix the problem Background: firefox 10.0.10 Steps: Close Firebug if you have it open -> Go to Firefox menu -> select the "Web developer" option -> select "Firebug" from all the options listed -> Select "Firebug UI location" from all the options -> Choose Top, Button, Left or Right depending on your preference. This should fix your problem. The "Firebug UI location" in the detached Firebug window doesn't work.
