Debug ASP.NET ATLAS/Ajax controls

ATLAS development is an interesting task and offers some new challenges. Debugging ATLAS control was such for me - how would one debug a webservice call done by an ATLAS/AJAX control if the call is not making it to the web application sitting on your server ?

XMLHttpRequest Debugging for IE (don't click, but add this link to your favourites)

XMLHttpRequest Debugging for Firefox (Requires Greasemonkey)

Once you have set the bookmark/favourite, go to the page that uses Xml Http Calls to get data from your web application, click the bookmarklet/favourite and a nicely done layer pops up that traces Javascript calls to the server and also displays the response. VERY VERY neat !

Thanks a lot Julien ! This little tool helped me save hours.
