Today I learned an interesting feature of JavaScript along with Firebug. Instead of using "alert" to display some trace information, you can use "console.log ("my message");". Together with the free web development tool Firebug, this information can then be shown in Firebug's console window. This is extremely helpful when trying to debug some AJAX code.
