Not quite: Firebug for FireFox is wonderful for debugging AJAX code. Let's you see the request the response, the current value of any form field, etc. FWIW, we have replaced all of our front end code that previously used Flash with AJAX code, the developers are more productive and the results are more esthetically pleasing. I personally feel that there are major advances to be made on front end scripting, but the current crop of AJAX tools are a major leap forward from anything else we've had available for complex cross browser UI functionality in the last 10 years. -- Peter Hunsberger
