NitobiBug – Javascript Debugging Script

Posted by Richard Wong under Javascript, Tools | 3 Comments

NitobiBug is a Javascript debugging script that once embedded, it can be used as a object logger and inspection tool. The main selling point of NitobiBug is that it is a light weight script you include in the page. This means it runs across different browsers without the need to install any plugins or extension.
