In part one of this post, I look at the Web Developers Toolbar, an essential firefox addon. This time round, I think it's worth a look at Firebug . Firebug is aimed more at what I would call 'realtime' debugging - it has a definite emphasis on Javascript, DOM manipulation etc. For Mr/Mrs Joe Public, all this is beyond the realms of comprehension, but it does have one particularly useful …

The general public are often mystified by how a webpage actually works. Sure, you could explain HTML, CSS, Javascript and Server side scripting to them, but you'll often be faced with a pair of glazed over eyes and a puzzled expression. Normally, this is a sign you've said a switch off keyword like 'parse', or better still, some seemingly secret code like 'ISAPI'. I find that a good visual aid …

I think I'm fed up with this now; it took me a while to realise that the Kservice.exe process was running in the background, even after a reboot, after which the iPlayer wasn't turned on.

I've recently been mucking around with this; The first thing which struck me was the sign up process for the Beta , which was a little shoddy; You had to sign up, which obviously is fine, but when I signed up, they didn't send me a confirmation email. I waited 24 hours and tried again, but to no avail. A week later I got the confirmations - they'd known there would be a delay (they were …
