I feel I'm unable to express my opinion just because English is not my mother tongue >_< I beg your pardon if you read something weird in my posts, the odds are I used the wrong word to say what I meant. In discussions like this, which are mostly about grammar and meaning of some text, if you use the wrong word, it can certainly lead to misunderstanding.
What I meant here: >> Anyway, this is just my point of view, but isn't that page supposed to >> give an overview of what can you do with the DOM in firebug? If so, > > Yes. > >> shouldn't it give a message easy to understand by everyone? > > What message? was that whatever you read in a page that gives you an overview of some product, should be accurate and easy to understand. By "accurate" I mean that if the page says "you can do this", you should be able to do exactly what it says. By "easy to understand" I mean that whatever the page states, it should have only one valid way to be interpreted. Think about the non native-English speakers, we can get very confused if a sentence is written in a weird or ambiguous way :( Grammar appart, the problem in question regarding editing the DOM: 1. Go to http://getfirebug.com/dom.html 2. enable and open Firebug for that site 3. Inspect the title "Edit as you go" 4. Go to the DOM sub-panel (the one on the right of the HTML panel) 5. look for the property "get firstChild" 6. look for "get data" inside the first child from step 5 7. Double-click on that property ("get data") 8. Change the text "Edit as you go" to "New Text" 9. Hit enter to view the result I was expecting the title "Edit as you go" to change to "New Text", but nothing happened. I don't know if what I expect is correct or not, but the page says you can change the DOM as you go... Now I have two questions about the DOM panel: 1) What are those properties defined as "get <something>", such as "get data"? 2) if you look at these screenshots: a. http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8840/beforeedit.png b. http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2120/editing.png when you double-click a property to change it's value, the preloaded text in the textbox is "<property-name>+<property-value>", is this OK?
