Is HTML, CSS remote debugging possible for Mobile and Tablets like Android , ipads?

Question

Is HTML, CSS remote bugging depossible for Mobile and Tablets like Android , iPads?

For example I want to use firebug on Ipad website, but from my desktop and firebug changes should be seen in iPad.

my question is not specifically to Firebug, if I can use Safari developer tools, IE 9 developer toolbar or similar tools which can edit live css, html on pages., it would be fine.

Note:

I already know about Firebug Lite. But my question is about remote debugging.

Mobile phones and tablets doesn't have Mouse so it's inconvenient to use Firebug lite on them.

Remy Sharp has a couple of solutions, as he usually does.

Answer 2

remote debug safari and chrome both have this function.

Answer 3

Yes, you can on iPads - I have used Firebug Lite in the past to debug a javascript problem I was having

Answer 4

Not on the actual device but you can get emulators for all those devices and run those emulators on your desktop.

That still doesn't allow you to run Firebug on the device but you can run Firebug in your desktop browser, fix the issues locally and then reload the page in the emulator to see if it works.

For Android, there is a mobile version of Firefox but I'm not sure if you can Firebug on it. Even if you can: The display size is very limited, so I don't think that it will be a pleasant experience.

Answer 5

For remote javascript debugging, checkout the Crossfire project:

Answer 6

You can use Safari's developer tool "Develop -> User Agent -> iPad / iPod / iPhone" and you can view the website on your desktop as it will look on these devices.
