Safari Gets JavaScript Debugger

The latest nightly build of Safari now includes a JavaScript debugger. There are not alot of details about how the debugger works, but the partial screenshot looks promising.

    Safari has had a javascript console / debugger for a while. You just had to do some wierd stuff to make it show up on the menu at the top.

    Safari has had a console, but with drosera you can step through the code like a real debugger.

    Xutu: The built in console is useless. I’m trying to figure out why a script works in Safari 3 but not Safari 2, but all the Safari 2 console outputs is “null object - line 1″. Line 1 of which file? Give me some useful info, dammit!

    Unfortunately the proper debugger seems to be Safari 3 only, which is the version of the browser which runs the scrit as intended anyway.
