This isn't really a maps issue, and would be better asked in a general scripting/development forum. Firebug Lite will work with lots of browsers, but it requires a script to be included in the page concerned. The other debuggers you mention plug into the browser itself, which necessarily means they are browser- specific. You didn't mention Microsoft's IE Script Debugger (although I think the Developer Toolbar depends on it); but that doesn't really allow stepping through code. > I'd also like to find some kind of tutorial which teaches how to > execute step by step.

Firebug does all of this, although I haven't been able to get it to handle asynchronous callback functions very well (actually, at all). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
