Firebug Lite for IE

Why?

Firebug Lite is sometimes the only option to debug the page, especially on some very old embedded devices like hand scanners running Mobile IE6 or Mobile IE7.

Forked from firebug/firebug-lite, original package is not maintained anymore.

This is unofficial fork!!!

Installation

NOTE: Only /build/firebug-lite-debug.js is supported version in this repo (the most stable).

Install these files:

skin/** -> /firebug-lite/skin/**
license.txt -> /firebug-lite/license.txt (license requirement)

HTML:

  <!-- This way works well in desktop IE (Windows XP) -->
  <!-- IMPORTANT: skinDir should have trailing / -->
  <script src="/firebug-lite/firebug-lite-debug.js#debug=false,overrideConsole=true,skinDir='/firebug-lite/skin/xp/'"></script>
  <!-- This way works well in mobile IE (Windows CE) -->
  <script src="/firebug-lite/firebug-lite-debug.js">
    { debug: false, overrideConsole: true, skinDir: '/firebug-lite/skin/xp/' }
  </script>

Versioning

Original firebug-lite is tagged as 1.5.1 however, build files have references to 1.4.x and 1.3.x only. I decided to keep 1.5.1 as base and all future versions will have a higher minor version starting from 1.5.2.
