Venkman and Firebug

[tas2826]

I had a thought trying to get a helpful js debugger in IE. Can you put the IE Tab add-on in Firefox, load a page, switch to IE Tab and then use Firebug or Venkman to debug js? I messed with it a little (IE Tab and Firebug) and it does not seem to work. Has anyone been able to do this or am I hoping for too much or not understanding what IE Tab really is?

Thanks in advance.

You cannot use IE Tab and Firebug together in Firefox. IE Tab uses the IE engine inside Firefox and will disable all Firefox add-ons. I heard there is something called 'IE Developers Toolbar' that _may_ have something similar to Firebug, but I am not sure.

Why do you need Firebug to run in IE Tab?

Well, I had thought maybe then I could test and debug js in IE (via IE Tab) and Firefox, both from Firefox, instead of switching between browsers or using the MS Script Debugger. That was kind of how I figured it was being that Firefox probably does something akin to wrapping the IE engine therefore FF add-ons would not get there. Oh well.
