I just completed ajax queue system and I ran into a rather serious
problem with Firebug.
I run a series of calls onload to get 6 unique files an process them
in the order they were called as a test script.
<BODY ONLOAD="ajaxTextGet('hello.txt'); ajaxTextGet('hello2.txt');
ajaxTextGet('hello3.txt'); ajaxTextGet('hello4.txt');
ajaxTextGet('hello5.txt'); ajaxTextGet('hello6.txt');">
They contain a one line instruction to do a document.body.innerHTML =
document.body.innerHTML + '<DIV>Call: ' and then JS adds a number and
the closing </DIV>.
The result on all browsers (including Firefox with Firebug disabled)
is
Call: 1
Call: 2
Call: 3
Call: 4
Call: 5
Call: 6
When Firebug is enabled it usually gives me:
Call: 2
Call: 1
Call: 3
Call: 4
Call: 5
Call: 6
or some other variation.
It's manifesting in two ways:
1) The initial onload calls are not in order - ie: executed as 1, 3,
2, 6, 4, 5 (or some variation)
2) If the initial calls are called correctly (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) the
resulting DOM updates are not applied in order ie: updated as shown
above, 2,1,3,4,5,6 (or some variation)
This only occurs when Firebug is enabled, and it is very consistent
when it's enabled - it almost always happens. In all other browsers
(Windows - Opera, Firefox (-Firebug), IE7, Chrome, Safari; OSX -
Firefox, Safari) it works as expected every time. The second Firebug
is enabled it screws up.
http://www.phpdev.ca/canshare/index_1.0.0.php - so you can see what is
going on. If you look at the DOM portion you'll notice a variable
called 'tracer' - this is the order of events being executed in the
code which should match the result on the page (but does not due to
bug).
Details on my Firebug config:
YSlow installed
All 'Show' options are enabled, with the exception of DOM constants.
