But it doesn't have CSS and adding CSS would be costly. I suggested to add a function "Launch external browser" for pages which cannot be browsed without Javascript, AJAX, CSS, Flash and other Nobel-Prize-for-Lack-of-Elegance technologies. But Mikulas doesn't want to write it, he says he doesn't need it :) I would hook up Firefox to this hotkey :) Actually what Mikulas said about the Javascript - 38 places with the same code - that can be solved with so called code refactoring - you find these pieces, write a function for them, commit it and only then continue debugging.
