What about installing a user agent switcher add on for firefox? this way
you can sort of be testing in IE,
Excuse a may be silly question, but how just switching the agent can
help debugging?
Firefox will make Javascript believe it is IE, but will it act as IE?

I've not tried it. My assumption would be that if Firefox is rendering it
as if it were being rendered in IE, then the JS would behave as if it were
IE. Seems like a logical conclusion. But no.. I've not tried it to be
able to say with 100% certainty.

Ah, gotcha. I was under the impression it would render as if it were the
specified browser.
If it was so, why would Mozilla not ALWAYS support IE functions?
What would be the advantage of switching the user agent otherwise?
Very poor indeed.
What would be the advantage of switching the user agent otherwise? I can
see if maybe a particular site only supported a given browser... would there
be others? Just curious.
You can use it to tell the server to generate code for another
browser, and there are all kinds of uses for that.

It is common to have to have 2 or 3 versions of CSS to accommodate for
browser inconsistencies. A friend of mine does *nothing but* UI design and
he says that he usually has at least 2 versions of CSS.

thanks for the recommendation... i have downloaded it and it tells me what line
of code an error is on but it doesn't allow me to view that line of code, does
it just alert you to the line or is there a way, like firebug, to get more
details on the line and view the code etc... thanks (sorry
i haven't really used it much... but really nothing holds a candle to
firebug.

Question: Have you tried using a javascript library that hides and handles
the cross browser issues behind the scenes? JQuery is the hot one these
days, but other like Prototype, YUI and others are available and usually
have excellent documentation.
These libraries can really take the headache
He only thing I have seen is the IE debugger in Aptana pro ($99). I use the
FOSS version of Aptana and absolutely love it.
