Actually (and, believe me, I'm not exactly a Firebug UI apologist >:-) ) this sounds like an excellent idea to me. What's important is that it be consistent and intuitive in meaning among the several panels. Off the top of my head, Break On Next should break on the following in different panels: * Console: Next console output * HTML: Next content alteration * CSS: Next CSS rule alteration, or maybe style change? * Script: As now * DOM: Next change to object in view (ooh, watchpoints! :-) ) * Net: Next Ajax response Gotta say, there's reason to be excited about each of these :-) The one thing that should probably be considered carefully is the icon. "Pause" isn't exactly what the user wants to do. But "break on next" is a pretty abstract concept, and I can't think of something better at the moment. - Luke --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
