One thing I like about the new dev tools in WebKit is that you can see the computed CSS, ie the CSS AFTER it was altered by JavaScript. Damn useful to look at the styles that Dashcode generates (it change a lot of CSS properties by JavaScript, sometimes for no apparent reasons...).

Thanks John ..... WebKit has come a long way since I last looked.... nice .... yes, the devtools are nice there ....

And if WebKit is not your default everyday browser, but you want to use it for WebObjects app development, just change the WOOpenURL script to:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

# Open argument  with firefox
/usr/bin/open -a WebKit $1
</snip>


Cheers,

Kieran

Have you seen the new developer tools in the WebKit nightly builds? They are at least on par with Firebug or, I daresay, even better.

I like Safari as default for general web-surfing, but I prefer Firefox for WebObjects development .... I just like the HTML/CSS/ Firebug/Selenium/etc/etc tools/plugins in FireFox for web development. However WOLips/Eclipse always autoopens in the default system browser ... well this was bugging me, so here is a tip if u want to hardcode which browser is auto-opened when you launch your WebObjects app in Eclipse ......... simply replace current file (was a soft link on my system) at:


/System/Library/WebObjects/Executables/WOOpenURL

.... with an executable shell script containing the following:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

# Open argument  with firefox
/usr/bin/open -a Firefox $1

</snip>

You can specify any application you want with the -a argument. (Firefox or Xylescope or Webkit for example)
