Hi everyone, > At my recent presentation on SVG at the WWW 2010 conference, I was > approached by someone from the Firebug team.

Not much I can remember: Firebug (unreleased versions, see below) currently works pretty well for SVG development: * Document manipulation (XML edition) through the HTML panel applies changes live; * DOM changes are highlighted; * etc. :-) > Have you run into any problems debugging SVG in Firebug (or any other > browser-based debugging tool)? This is a great opportunity to get these > fixed (or at least examined). Yup, I noticed a few bugs a while ago (which are still in release versions, BTW). The most notable one was issue 666 [1], which fortunately should already be fixed in development builds [2] of the tool. So don't "waste" much time with versions below 1.6a9! ;-) (Note that I've only been using the development version of Firebug in conjunction with the nightly Firefox builds [3]; I've been using the current release for the stable Firefox version, the one I use for my daily browsing needs.) Cheers, Helder [1] http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=666 [2] http://getfirebug.com/downloads#alpha [3] https://nightly.mozilla.org/
