22.3 Diagnosing JavaScript and Ajax with Web Development Helper

Ajax and rich web applications implemented using Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and JavaScript give users an enjoyable experience and make customers very happy. However, it can be very difficult to track down problems in those same applications.

This lightweight browser plug-in—which you can use to trace HTTP requests, display script errors in an enhanced manner, and explore the DOM—provides quick-and-dirty diagnostics that go a long way toward improving developer productivity.
