Tools for your rescue

Recently while working on one of the project i was assigned a few performance related defects.The defects were basically related to UI.The page basically had a tree structure which was build using the yui tree widget.The page would load perfectly fine with fewer records of say 100.But when the number of records were more than 2500 the browsers would just hang.Since most of the work was done using javascript, i had to learn javascript and in the process i discovered that javascript is a wondeful language provided its used appropriately.I also came across some really wonderfull tools which i think every web developer should use as it makes life very easy.I am listing just the names of the tools and feel the using the tools would be a pretty straight forward thing to do.

1] Mozilla FireBug.
2] Mozilla FireUnit
3] Google's Page Speed

The following are few very usefull web sites i came across -
