Description

[Toby Johnson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

The Venkman page only contains info about Mozilla 1.0 and Netscape 7, both of
which are outdated, the former not even being supported officially by
Mozilla.org. Attached patch gives more info for Firefox users and also fixes
lack of </p> closing tags in HTML.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/index.html


Actual Results:  
No Firefox info, only info about older browsers.

Expected Results:  
Expect to see information on Firefox browsers, the current "flagship" browser
product of Mozilla.

-> me

Toby, your patch is good.

I will
- convert the document to HTML 4.01 strict 
- add a download+install link to Mozilla Update.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=216
- mention that Venkman can not be installed on NS 8.0.x
- add some <meta> to the file

Attachment: Patch (checked in) rev: 1.26

This patch contains Toby's patch and several modifications:
- conversion to HTML 4.01 strict
- links updated
- better info or more info for downloading, installing and upgrading Venkman as
an extension for Seamonkey or Firefox
- added several <meta>

The document still needs additional tuning.

To do (later):

- 2 links are broken
http://www.mozilla.org/build/ redirected to
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Build_Documentation
and
http://developer.netscape.com/software/jsdebug.html

- content could be more compact and better modularized into better defined
sections like
1- download and install Venkman
a) for Firefox
b) for Seamonkey
2- upgrading (current document is not coherently organized)
3- Add the resource/reference
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Venkman
and
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Category:JavaScript:Tools

Unless I hear objections against this, I will remove references to/regarding NS
6.2, NS 7.x, Mozilla Suite 1.x (which has been replaced by Seamonkey 1.x) and
invite readers using these Mozilla-based browsers to upgrade.

Note to self:

"and then report a bug on Venkman Javascript Debugger"
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Other%20Applications&component=Javascript%20Debugger
should be rather
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Other%20Applications&component=JavaScript%20Debugger

Comment 7

[Gérard Talbot]

I will update the Venkman project page with stuff mentioned in comment #4 and comment #6 once Firefox 1.5 final release has been out and once some kind of updated version has been released along with an update of the webpage
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=216

Comment 8

[Gérard Talbot]

I downloaded 
venkman-0.9.85.jw2.xpi
from 
http://getahead.ltd.uk/ajax/venkman
and installed it on Firefox 1.5 rv:1.8 and everything worked fine.
Another link on this issue: 
http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2005/11/22/293/
I wish Venkman 0.9.85 would be downloadable and installable from
https://addons.mozilla.org/ 
instead.

Patch checked in

Resolving as FIXED

Comment 10

[Gérard Talbot]

The relevant Venkman info (download link, resources page, Mozilla Addons link, Firefox Addons link, etc.) has been updated at

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/index.html

Now, people can download and install Venkman Javascript Debugger version 0.9.87 for Firefox 1.5.0.x and for Seamonkey 1.x.

Comment 11

[Gérard Talbot]

To do:
- mention that Venkman 0.9.87 is installable on Nvu 1.0, KompoZer 0.77 and Netscape 9.0
- update browser versions: K-meleon 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x
- remove the useless but rather big (489 lines of js code; 16877 bytes) script code utm (Urchin Tracking Module 6.1) script
<script src="../../__utm.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
inserted by the server.
- check for broken links

REOPENING

Comment 12

[Gérard Talbot]

Oops... the UTM script code inserted in the page
__utm.js
is located at the root of the server

http://www.mozilla.org/__utm.js

so maybe this should stay...

Reopening for the other issues though
