Problem using console.profile

[john6630]

I am a newbie and am very excited about Firebug but find the
documentation a bit sparse. What I am trying to do is profile one of
my javascript functions. Here is what I tried -

function ToggleNewsItems(){
// alert(newsToggle);
console.profile("My Toggle Profile");
if (newsToggle == 1) {
document.getElementById("NewsItem1").style.display = 'none';
newsToggle = 0;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("NewsItem1").style.display = 'inline';
newsToggle = 1;
}
console.profileEnd();
}

The function is called by the following:

<a href="javascript:ToggleNewsItems()">Toggle News Items</a>

I am running Firefox 2.0.0.15 and the latest Firebug (I do not see
where to get the version number but my plug ins auto update when
Firefox starts) I am running the page out of Dreamweaver CS3

When I load the page and start Firefox and click on the hyperlink, I
get "No Activity To Report".
If I clear the console, click on the Profile tab the standard profile
starts.When I click on the hiperlink, it then starts my profile with
the title "My Toggle Profile" but it keeps running until I click on
the profile tab. Then "My Tag Profile" stops and gives the following
report

My Toggle Profile (0ms, 1 calls)
Function
ToggleNewsItems 1 NaN% 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms 0ms index.html (line 1

but the standard profile keeps running.

I am confused. Am I not using console.profile correctly? Any help
greatly appreciated.

And a very big THANK YOU to the developer(s) of this great tool!!

I can help if you want to install Firebug 1.2 from
addons.mozilla.org.

Hi John,
I believe Firebug 1.2 will require me to upgrade to Firefox 3? I have seen several posts about problems using Firefox 3, so I will wait a little longer. I just wanted to know if I was using the console.profile properly. I did not think that would be version dependent.

Thanks,
John Lee

Firebug 1.2 works in Firefox 2. (BTW Firefox 2 has many more problems
that Firefox 3; the QA on FF3 is awesome for a .0 release).

The proper use of console.profile is not version dependent. But the
implementation of console.profile was completely rewritten for Firebug
1.2.

Well there is one exception: For Firefox 2, you have to issue
loadFirebugConsole() before using the console in Firefox 2.

John.
