OK, I'll try that, but there's something else going on. Forget about my
function; let's take the simplest possible case. Here's what I just tried:
I created the world's simplest HTML file -- NO JAVASCRIPT AT ALL. Here's
the complete code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>trashtest.html</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="HUH">What is going on?</p>
</body>
</html>
I dragged the file into Firefox, just as a file, _not_ loading it from my
development server. Then I opened a Firebug console, and typed in a single
word:
HUH
When I ran it, Firebug's console displayed:
> HUH
<p id="HUH">
Firebug displays the element line with syntax coloring, and it's clickable
to the HTML tab, including the DOM sub-tab.
Please don't tell me it was "set by the page" -- there's NO JAVASCRIPT
ANYWHERE. It's not even running off my Apache server, just off the local
(Mac) file system.
Chrome's console gives approximately the same result.
Have browsers/consoles changed recently? Or is this some new HTML5
"convenience" that I haven't heard about? Or maybe I'm just going crazy?
Try pasting the code above into a blank text file, and drag it into your
browser. Does your Firebug console not behave the same way?
