I have used firebug in past some years. Some of the uses are: 1. to inspect DOM in order to find out what div.class and div.id I need to target and manipulate for formatting TW. 2. to actually try out changing the css attribute values in the live DOM before including them in a Styling tiddler. 3. to inspect DOM in order to find out what divs and their classes do what in a TW interface, like what is a displayArea and what is a tiddlylinkExisting etc 4. to run short lines of javascript code from console line just to see their effect before actually including them into an inline script 5. to debug inline script by sending flag values to console.log of firebug.
Besides firebug another tool which is indispensible when it comes to any coding in TW is Eric Shulman's http://www.tiddlytools.com/insideTW/ -shavinder On Feb 11, 2:26 am, "Mark S." <[email protected]> wrote: > Just thinking out loud.
