Web developers are asking more from today's browsers — more speed, more functionality, and more ability to make web applications that make users happy. To talk about how browser development happens with respect to new standards, such as what influences decisions around which new APIs to implement first and how to implement new features in the face of still-changing standards proposals, we have a series of representatives from Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Opera taking part in a panel discussion moderated by Mike Schroepfer, VP of Engineering at Facebook.

So, a few weeks back I showed you how you could see your CSS changes in real-time in any browser (http://blog.edgecase.com/2009/4/6/see-your-css-changes-in-real-time-in-any-browser). That was cool and all, but I haven't found myself using it simply because of the convenience factor. The script had to be included in the page, whereas I could just fire up Web Developer Toolbar in an instant.

Today I'm introducing the bookmarklet version of that same script. It no longer requires jQuery, so just drag the link below up to your bookmark toolbar, and you'll have this functionality one click away.

Firebug is one of the reasons that I changed to Firefox (from Camino, a faster, less memory intensive browser). It is so handy for checking under the hood of websites and anyone who does anything with CSSshould know how to use it!

Firebug’s good for HTML and javascript too, but I don’t use it for them as much.

I was trying to find a video tutorial to show people on the Thesis forums how to use Firebug. However, the ones I found were either too old (Firebug has come a long way in the last year or two), or they were a bit long and rambling.

So, I decided to make one myself. It’s 6.5 minutes (the others I found were double that!) and gives an overview of how to use Firebug, including installation. Feel free to ask questions about it in the comments below!
