So in my javascript I\'m making an ajax call to a service on my website. Whoops, something fails. No problem. Here\'s what I\'d do in Firefox:
You could download autohotkey and write a quick macro to do the steps needed to see the XHR response in a browser window...
Here's a script I wrote in autohotkey that if you press the middle mouse button (mousewheel button) inside that response window in Chrome's Developer Tools > Network tab, it will do these steps:
Delete the file
MButton::
MouseClick, right
MouseGetPos, xpos, ypos
xpos := xpos + 5
ypos := ypos + 5
MouseMove, xpos, ypos
MouseClick, left
Sleep, 500
ClipSaved := ClipboardAll
Clipboard := "C:\Users\David\Desktop\temp_xhr_response.html"
Send, ^v {Enter}
Clipboard = %ClipSaved%
sleep, 500
Run, open "C:\Users\David\Desktop\temp_xhr_response.html"
sleep, 1000
FileDelete, C:\Users\David\Desktop\temp_xhr_response.html
return
This should hold you over til Google releases an update for better viewing for HTML responses. I'm not using FF's FireBug anymore, it's become incredibly slow!
