Amen to that -- Firebug is an immense help. Indispensable, even, if you are doing Ajax and need to inspect the stuff coming back at you. Too bad FF 2.x is such a prolifigate hog and waster of memory -- it's really killing me here on Fedora 7.

?Hi everyone --

My guess is that your javascript has errors which prevents the submit

handler from returning false. ?This makes it really hard for

debugging...



Try the following when developing:

<form onsubmit="validate(this);return false;">

instead of

<form onsubmit="return validate(this)">



This way when "validate" errors out, the submission will still be

trapped and you can see the errors in the console.



HTH,
