Great job on the videotuts James, always very helpfull. Firebug is one of the latest and greatest usefull tool made available along with FF webdev toolbar.
I still have a question on the JS demo. Lots of people here seem to have problems with conflicting java-scripts. No surprise there for me anyway and you always make sure to ask the important question in that direction. However, in the firebug tutorial on JS errors you simply state that there is a conflicting js being loaded together with mootools, but without elaborating on it.
Can you in any way shed some more light on the js conflicts, and what to look for? - Boston Celtics 2008 NBA Champs

Thats because its actually quite difficult as Firebug doesn't actually say, A is conflicting with B and B comes from C etc... You generally have to use past experience to really determine that.
I know that mootools is a library and conflicts with jquery and prototype. Therefore, if I see references to both, I know the problem. - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK

James,
Do you have an idea of why I can't seem to view your Firebug videos?

- I do. And, watch videos all the time... It is odd. I get only the bottom bar, no picture and I can hear you just fine. I've tried in both FF and IE. Don't worry about this... I'll try a few things and see if I can figure it out. It's a first. Again, just odd.

- Ensure you don't have flash, or embedded items disabled as the movie maybe being blocked.
