What tools do you guys use to debug your AJAX applications? I am working on a project for a client that has AJAX code another Developer added. The problem is that the code has some bugs... I need to debug it and also add some new features to the app. Any idea's?

For IE I would recommend the Developer Toolbar.

It has a lot of cool features and works really well.

Enjoy!

I've installed it. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you for the link.

Firebug is another app you might want to take a look at.

I use Firebug and YSlow

I've heard of YSlow but never used it. So you have had a pretty good experience with it?

Yeah it is pretty good. It is more of a guideline than hard rules (not too many freelancers can afford a CDN ) but the performance suggestions are good and you can easily find bottlenecks in your sites. It even lists the execution time for individual AJAX requests and the responses that were returned.

I usually edit AJAX codes using HTML Kit or notepad ++
