Dojo and Firebug

I just started a new project with the Dojo toolkit, and no sooner did I drop my dojo.js script tag in than firebug started telling me

Could not load 'dojo._firebug.firebug'; last tried './_firebug/firebug.js'

I know dojo has a reputation for bad debugging messages, but this is ridiculous....

If anyone has any ideas about this I would appreciate it.

I've run into this issue on Firefox, if you access a local HTML page that is not being passed through a server, Firefox will give you errors because if does not allow directory traversal.

Other browsers allow local directory traversal though.

The best solution is to run the page through a server (local or remotely) since a server allows this type of directory traversal to occur.

Dojo.js should be in the root/Dojo folder.
It should work that way.

Like people have said the error comes when firebug.js isn't there. I got the same error but it was because I created a custom build but left my DjConfig value isDebug to be true.

As soon as I changed it to isDebug:false dojo quit trying to load firebug.

It is possible to work without a web server. go through the below mentioned steps.

Why not start with the skeleton code? When in doubt, go with the beginner's tutorial.

You need to put it on a web server, per this thread -- probably a local web server that only serves to your own machine, of course, for development purposes.
