CHAPTER 1 ■ INTRODUCING JQUERY<br />

Throughout this book, all exercises will assume that you are using the Firefox browser with the<br />

Firebug plug-in due to its excellent JavaScript testing console.<br />

Installing Firefox<br />

To get Firefox up <strong>and</strong> running on your computer, navigate to http://firefox.com <strong>and</strong> download the<br />

latest version of Firefox (version 3.6 at the time of this writing). After running the installer (Firefox Setup<br />

x.x.x.exe on a PC or Firefox x.x.x.dmg on Mac), Firefox will be running.<br />

Installing Firebug<br />

To install Firebug, use Firefox to navigate to http://getfirebug.com, <strong>and</strong> click the “Install Firebug x.x for<br />

Firefox” button. This takes you to the Firefox add-ons directory entry for Firebug. Once there, click the<br />

“Add to Firefox” button, which will bring up the installation dialog in the browser (see Figure 1-1). Click<br />

Install Now, <strong>and</strong> wait for the add-on to install. Then restart Firefox.<br />
