Webkit is a better safari debugging environment

Also I find the hack below quite nice for debugging every once in a while regardless of the browser:

 

if( !confirm(debugging info) ) halt;

 

“halt” throws a parse error only if you press cancel on the confirmation box.

Safari has a built-in debugger that is nearly useless, and on top of that, hidden by default.  Google for safari _javascript_ console and you should find instructions on how to enable it.  It will tell you when it has errors, but provide little to no information about what they are.  Someone else may have more info for you.

 

Force Quit on Mac = Cmd+Option+Esc (Cmd is the apple logo key).

This is way OT, but here goes...

 

I've had an iBook for 2 days now and am debugging a web built with prototype/script aculo / windows / etc...  I have no real experience on a Mac.

 

Occasionally, there's no better way to debug _javascript_ than an alert in a loop... Once I have the information information I want from the alert, the loop may want to execute another 300 times.  I have no idea how to kill Safari like I would do on a PC: CTRL+ALT+DEL, select the task, and stop.  Any help on how to abort Safari when it is hovering on an alert?

 

Second,  any suggestion as to a good _javascript_ debugger for Safari?
