You can click on the red 1 Error, the console opens, and if the error is breakpointable, you can set a breakpoint on it in the console. > Does that mean "break on all errors" has gone altogether, as I can > find it in any of the options? We are trying to get rid of these invisible options. To break on errors that can appear in the Console, click the pause button, [ || ]. It will throb, then break when you hit an error. We're not completely happy with the current solution. We don't like the old solution. We are looking for suggestions. Contenders need to be visible and very compact, competitive with our current solution in these regards. A separate issue is stickiness: currently the break on any error in the console turns off when you hit. Try the b1 solution and let us know what you think. jjb > > Cheers, > Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
