    I don't have access to VS (can you say "cheapskate "?), and neither
    Firebug nor Opera give me enough info to know what's going on - or maybe
    I'm just lousy at using them. Got anything else?
    Before stealing (er studying) the code, you might want to consider the
    source. Do you really want to mimic their design?
    Absolutely not! I want to improve upon it (á la Greasemonkey, or maybe
    an XPI) - but first I have to understand it.
    What if the author is a lunatic?
    Based on what I've seen so far, I'm already convinced that he is. ;-)

      It sounds like you are lousy at using them.

      Do you have to understand how their design works?

      All the more reason to ignore whatever he did.

          It sounds like you are lousy at using them.
          Except that Firebug doesn't provide backtrace functionality, which is what
          it sounds like the OP is looking for. It would be a even more of a godsend
          if it did, though. :)

          thnx,

              Except that Firebug doesn't provide backtrace functionality,
              If you mean the synonym of stack trace: Yes, it does. Actually, JavaScript
              provides this feature all by itself already, with the `stack' string
              property of Error objects. But Firebug allows you to click the item in the
              displayed stack trace and jump to the corresponding function.
              which is what it sounds like the OP is looking for. It would be a even
              more of a godsend if it did, though. :)
              It is :)
