If you have JS that dynamically updates the 'value' attribute of an input
(I tested with a text input), the HTML tab in Firebug will continue to
display only the default value. For example:
--- BEGIN HTML ---
<html>
<head>
<script>
function changestuff()
{
var obj = document.getElementById('textbox');
obj.value = '';
obj.className = 'test';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id='textbox' value='stuff'>
<input type='button' value='change textbox value' onclick='changestuff()'>
</body>
</html>
--- END HTML ---
Steps to reproduce:
1.) Open Firefox with the above HTML
2.) Inspect the 'textbox' element in Firebug
3.) Click the 'change textbox value' button
4.) Notice that the HTML displayed in Firebug is still: "<input
id='textbox' value='stuff'>" when it should be: "<input id='textbox'
value=''>"
Not sure if this happens with other tags or attributes. I swear this is new
behavior, but I could be going crazy. I guess there could be some
discussion as to the expected behavior here; whether Firebug should keep
displaying the default value or the actual value. My vote would obviously
be for Firebug to represent 100% what is actually displayed in the browser,
as it does in all other cases that I know of.
