[webkit-dev] Reducing Bugs

[Mark Rowe]

Shawn,

The approach that I typically take is to save the page and all of its  
resources to my system and verify that the bug still occurs.  I then  
reformat the code to be easier to work with (break JavaScript down to  
a single expression per line, CSS to a single property declaration,  
HTML to a single element, etc).  From there it becomes, more or less,  
a process of removing lines while ensuring that things are still broken.

Hope this helps,
