Debugging Dojo using Firebug and Greasemonkey

Debugging in Dojo is easier than ever. Shane O’Sullivan posted a great script using Greasemonkey to log the debug using Firebug.

From his blog:

The solution is to use a Greasemonkey script to enable Dojo/Firebug debugging on any page you visit, or only for pages in a given list of domains. The steps to use this script are as follows:

1. Install Greasemonkey from http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
2. Install Firebug from http://www.getfirebug.com
3. Open the file http://www.skynet.ie/~sos/misc/dojo_debug_enable.user.js in Firefox. Greasemonkey should prompt you to install it.

That should be all that’s necessary.

You can always enable or disable the script directly in Greasemonkey.
