firebuggers- The New York Post's website (nypost.com) uses DART (aka doubleclick (owed by google)) to serve ads on its site. Ever since firebug was released for FF3 we have noticed some strange behaviors that *only* occur while firebug is enabled. I'm no expert on how firebug works (though I think its one of teh most powerful webdev tools yet devised, so thanks!!) so I cant be sure of exactly what is happening, but here are some of the details:
- DART works thusly: put a <script> tag on the page where you want your ad to appear (with some params) and then a document write occurs (usually of another <script> tag) which then displays the appropriate ad. This is how we have done things for several years now with now problems (despite our less-than w3c complient markup) - With firebug enabled on FF3, often the page will begin to load but when it reaches a <script> tag for an ad (which calls a standard document.write(), the entire DOM will be replaced instead of just a simple "write". So the page goes white and we see *only* the ad. - Other times we see a the second or third ad tag on the page write to the location in the DOM of the first or second ad tag. So where there should be one ad at the top of the page and one at the bottom, we see two at teh top instead. I realize that these all sound like problems with DART, but we are only seeing this when firebug is enabled. Does anyone have any thoughts?
