Script Junkie | How to Debug Your jQuery Code

Leave a reply
  • Firebug—Although many developers have used Firebug, I don’t think that many understand the true potential of its debugging capabilities. If you know your tools inside out, you can become a more productive and efficient programmer. Note: If you aren’t using Firefox, the Firebug Lite bookmarklet can come in handy to provide many of the nice debugging features of its Firefox add-on counterpart. I tend to use this bookmarklet primarily with Google Chrome.
  • FireQuery—This Firefox Firebug add-on provides some nice features to Firebug, such as letting you see which jQuery events are attached to what DOM elements, displaying any data elements that are attached to a DOM element, and providing the ability to inject jQuery into Web pages that don’t have it already loaded.
  • FireFinder—This Firefox Firebug add-on can help you find the selector you are looking for. You can test the selector you have, and it will highlight all those items on your Web page.

use gmail filtering not only to filter the spam away, but also to filter the important from the bologna…

People tell us all the time that they’re getting more and more mail and often feel overwhelmed by it all. …. It’s time-consuming to figure out what needs to be read and what needs a reply. Today, we’re happy to introduce Priority Inbox (in beta)—an experimental new way of taking on information overload in Gmail.

Gmail has always been pretty good at filtering junk mail into the “spam” folder. But today, in addition to spam, peopleget a lot of mail that isn’t outright junk but isn’t very important—bologna, or “bacn.” So we’ve evolved Gmail’s filter to address thisproblem and extended it to not only classify outright spam, but also to help users separate this “bologna” from the important stuff. ….

…. we’re ready for more people to try it out. Priority Inbox will be rolling out to all Gmail users, including those of you who use Google Apps, over the next week or so. Once you see the “New! Priority Inbox” link in the top right corner of your Gmail account (or the new Priority Inbox tab in Gmail Settings), take a look.
