Hi John, Apologies for the delay in replying - had quite a lot on my plate recently, and need a bit of time to think about what exactly I expect from the system. One of the major downsides of not having an always-on "break on all errors" facility is not being able to quickly see the state of objects/ variables at that moment. Admittedly, most of the time a breakpoint and a reload will make it happen again - but there are times when you need to be able to see things there and then. And especially if the fault is on the page load, clicking of the "pause" button isn't going to be possible. I can see where you're coming from (not liking the old or current solutions) - it's a difficult one to call, and no I can't see any obvious GUI solution either. Sorry I can't be more help - will keep thinking about it as I'm using the system, and in the unlikely event that I have a brainwave I'll get back to you Cheers, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
