Subject: Any recommendations for good Firebug/Fireeyes tutorial, especially from a screen reader perspective?
No previous message | Next message →

Yea wise people

I want to move into the realm of younder Javascript debugging and such like.
I have installed and updated Firebug and Fireeyes to work with my
Firefox v16 browser.
I have a few pointers on what to do, and I am one who is always
entertained by clicking any button in sight and watching what happens
next, but if anyone has a useful guide that may help point me in the
right direction or pointing out some neat non-obvious functionality of
this potent combination, such knowledge would be like quality music to
my ears (Gangnam style). ;)
If anyone can share any resource with me, it's always appreciated. I
will definitely write up my experience, create a little guide and post
on my Wordpess site (which under construction, once it has anything
useful on it I'll post its adress to the list, as long as that is
considered appropriate, it will be dedicated to web, PDF and epub
accessibility entirely).
Thanks, as always, good lister

If anyone has used these with a screen reader that information would be
helpful to. I am trying to learn how to use them both with the added amp
tool bars and have had no luck so I would love the information to.

Feel free to contact me off list. I've done some draft tutorials and I'm
working on more.

I have little info beyond this, but here are a couple items:

Marco Zehe has an old (2009) but still useful-sounding article from
when they first got ARIA support into Firebug. He gives several
examples of how it can be used:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefocus/

The documentation Marco links to has been moved. It's by Hans Hillen
of The Paciello Group, & has some outdated refernces (to Firefox 3!),
but otherwise is as essential as Marco claims.:
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Accessibility

A couple other add-ons that I have links to (do they work with screen
readers?...):

Firefocus, tracks where focus will be on the page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefocus/

Ainspector helps with ... other stuff:
