I have been working on extensions to Firebug and Web Inspector that let developers see into the structure of a their code built on JavaScript frameworks. I've hit a milestone, releasing a preview for ExtJS on Firebug. A longer description is here:
I built it with the idea that it would support multiple frameworks, and want to move on to jQuery next, and could use a few pointers:
- What is needed when debugging jQuery that is obvious to developers intimately familiar with it, but something I might miss?
- I've figured out a system to display a hierarchy of jQuery widgets, but it feels like I'm missing something. Is there some standard/general method for determining parent vs child relationships?
- Is there a standard format for holding data, like for filling a datagrid?
Thanks!
