Here's another tip. It won't always work for debugging, but in a pinch, you can select a bit of text in the browser, right-click and select View Selection Source - you don't see the whole page, but what you do see is the in-memory DOM.

When you do View Source in Firefox, Firefox shows only the original HTML page that it loaded, but not any changes made with JavaScript (or RJS). Instead I use View Source Chart, which shows the HTML code after JavaScript modifications. Some bugs are changes that replace the wrong element, or don't change an element to be visible, etc, which you can only find by looking at the HTML source. Also, if you know which element you're looking for, you can also do something like inspect($('sidebar')) in FireBug. David,
