           Summary: Firebug command line extensions interfere with existing
                    objects
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 526+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Web Inspector
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: brian.mitchell at excoventures.com


The web inspector's console allows evaluation of code within the context of the
inspected document. In many cases these pages have a number of javascript
functions setup using common names like $.

The firebug compatible functions override these calls causing many expressions
to fail to evaluate in cases where different behavior was provided in those
names under those calls. I would propose that the script check for predefined
values before overriding with its own. I would also encourage having some of
this functionality available via an isolated module (maybe $inspector would be
an appropriate name) so those who want access to both behaviors can use the
adjusted name.
