FireFox has an extension called LeakMonitor. It is quite annoying for normal browsing but you can just enable/disable it.
Have you considered making an absolutely positioned DIV with overflow auto that can be shown/hidden with key commands for debug output? Just pipe your debug to a function and then you can just disable the output when you don't need it by editing the output function. Sprinkle debug statements throughout your code. OR You could take the modern approach and use FireFox and the Venkman extension with is a full debugger. Add the "debugger;" flag at the start of your script and step through. However, to use Venkman you will have to read the online manual/tutorial because it requires some non-intuitive setup (at least from the stand point of standard debuggers). FireFox has a ton of web developer addons (besides just the plain old web developer). I suggest FireBug (lets you quickly see error output, css, events, and HTTP requests/responses for Ajax), console2, and Venkman for a good start. For IE you have their beta web developer bar and the script debugger. The IE debugger is pretty useless and poorly implemented. I *think* it responds the "debugger;" command. In my honest opinion, I don't use IE to develop. It is strictly a testing browser to make sure my code works properly in IE. -Andrew Martinez -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maninder, Singh Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 9:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Monitor Objects Hi, Sometimes (and I don't know when) I get a Stack Overflow at line 0 error. I know that it could be due to - 1) Recursion 2) Lot of memory consumption by some object 3) Bad usage of iframes (I read it somewhere:) 4) Something else Since it's not reproducible everytime, it's hard to debug. So, I was wondering if using prototype, there is a way to build something like an object monitor to keep track of what all objects are currently there in memory and what have been destroyed? Thoughts? Thank you, Mandy. p.s. This is primarily for Internet Explorer. _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
