I'm making my portfolio website and I'm using pure HTML 5 no .js the about page doesn't work on iPhone and doesn't scroll everything together some of the elements positions are fixed and don't scroll. I don't own an iPhone but is there anyway to simulate the iOS on computer so I can debug the page? And is there such a tool like "inspect element" in chrome on the iOS safari? If not how can I debug and find how the browser is rendering wrong on the phone? Cause I validated my code and it's supposed to work, but its not!
You can simulate iOS using Xcode and Mac OS.
And for the debug purpose there is no inspect element in Simulator. Yes you can take a help of Accessibility Inspector
In the Simulator >> Go to Settings >> General >> Accessibility
Turn on Accessibility Inspector - This will help you to inspect different elements.
Something important to bear in mind is that because of Apple's policies, all browsers must use Safari’s layout engine to render pages, that means there are very few differences in rendering a page between Safari and other browsers on iOS.
There are two methods that you can use to debug a web page running on your iOS device on your using a browser on your Mac or Windows computer:
1. Debug using a Mac
If you have a Mac, you already have tools to live-inspect and debug web pages on your iOS device.
See here: https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html
2. Debug using Windows
Xcode and MacOS are not the only way to debug websites running in a browser on OSX. There's a few ways:
Telerik
WineRE
I personally use Edge Inspect when I'm forced to use Windows.
Adobe Edge Inspect

I have a website that uses (except for other things) AngularJS. This website works perfectly fine on (example):
Google Chrome
IE
Firefox
iOS
Android
However I am having problems with Windows 10 mobile as one of the features is not working correctly (to be more precise it is $interval).
When testing my app on one of the browsers I view website via Web Inspector and go to background code to inspect where exactly the app fails. However I have no idea how to fix the problems that occur on mobile devices - such as Windows 10 Mobile?
How can one debug websites on a mobile device?
Windows 10 Mobile has Edge Browser. Try debugging it in that.
This is might be helpful.

So, I'm building responsive pages using the Chrome dev tools iOS emulator, only to find that there's a 5% difference when you check it out on an actual phone.
All my css is normalized and has the latest vendor prefixes, so I'm stuck with guessing what's going wrong with that last 5%.
Surely there is a way to see the CSS output on a mobile device? Dev-tools for mobile. Surely!
On Android phones, Chrome does support Remote Debugging over USB
Since you're in iOS, though, you are able to use Safari's remote debugging feature to try to debug the page. Chrome for iOS uses Apple's UIWebView to render pages, so debugging in iOS Safari should give you the same results you're seeing in iOS Chrome.
Safari's remote debugging feature can be used by going to Settings > Safari > Advanced on your device, connecting the device to the computer via USB, then in Safari on your Mac, go to Develop > [Device] > [website] to debug.
I have a problem where a Silverlight system I have developed is working perfectly in Internet Explorer but not at all in Chrome or Firefox
I have no idea where to start to try to figure out what the problem is?
Chrome just says Cannot load Silverlight plugin which is obviously useless from a debugging point of view
Firefox just displays the container page
I have used firebug and interestingly Firefox makes no attempt to download the xap files?
This is a major issue and any pointers would be very helpful!
The application does make use of Prism which may be something to do with it

How to debug web sites on mobile devices?

Is HTML, CSS remote bugging depossible for Mobile and Tablets like Android , iPads?
For example I want to use firebug on Ipad website, but from my desktop and firebug changes should be seen in iPad.
my question is not specifically to Firebug, if I can use Safari developer tools, IE 9 developer toolbar or similar tools which can edit live css, html on pages., it would be fine.
Note:
I already know about Firebug Lite. But my question is about remote debugging.
Mobile phones and tablets doesn't have Mouse so it's inconvenient to use Firebug lite on them.
Remy Sharp has a couple of solutions, as he usually does.
Firebug Bookmarklet
http://remysharp.com/2007/03/13/firebug-in-ie-for-any-web-site/
JS Console remote debugging (jsconsole.com).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSH392Gxaho
Not on the actual device but you can get emulators for all those devices and run those emulators on your desktop.
That still doesn't allow you to run Firebug on the device but you can run Firebug in your desktop browser, fix the issues locally and then reload the page in the emulator to see if it works.
For Android, there is a mobile version of Firefox but I'm not sure if you can Firebug on it. Even if you can: The display size is very limited, so I don't think that it will be a pleasant experience.
Yes, you can on iPads - I have used Firebug Lite in the past to debug a javascript problem I was having
For remote javascript debugging, checkout the Crossfire project:
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Crossfire
remote debug
safari and chrome both have this function.
You can use Safari's developer tool "Develop -> User Agent -> iPad / iPod / iPhone" and you can view the website on your desktop as it will look on these devices.

Debugging JavaScript in IE7
Firefox has Web Developer plugin and Firebug for troubleshooting html/css/javascript issues. Google Chrome and Safari have a very similar console and right-click options for "Inspect Element".
Does IE7 have anything similar for troubleshooting layout/html/css issues?
Yes - The Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar
Download details: Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar
You can also use Firebug Lite, wich works on IE, Opera and Safari.
It's a Javascript implementation that you can load with a simple bookmarklet.
As SO doesn't allow Javascript, here is the bookmarklet source code (just copy paste to your browser location bar (always make sure it's safe before executing random javascript (In any case check the first link)))
javascript:var%20firebug=document.createElement('script');firebug.setAttribute('src','http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js');document.body.appendChild(firebug);(function(){if(window.firebug.version){firebug.init();}else{setTimeout(arguments.callee);}})();void(firebug);
Firebug Lite supports all basic commands of Firebug.
I have also used Debug Bar.
Check out the IE Developer toolboar.
Web Development Helper
Web Development Helper is a free browser extension for Internet Explorer that provides a set of tools and utilities for the Web developer, esp. Ajax and ASP.NET developers. The tool provides features such as a DOM inspector, an HTTP tracing tool, and script diagnostics and immediate window.
Web Development Helper works against IE6+, and requires the .NET Framework 2.0 or greater to be installed on the machine.
Once installed, the tool can be activated using the Tools | Web Development Helper command. You can also customize your browser's toolbar to add a button for this command to facilitate frequest use. Clicking on the menu command or browser button brings up the tool's console window and set of commands.
Page Features:
DOM inspector allows viewing all elements, selected elements, or elements matching an ID or CSS class, their attributes and styles.
Capturing a screen shot of the current page.
Viewing page information such as metadata, tags, and linked resources. .......
unfortunately it seems microsoft have discontinued it, the page for the toolbar now just says 'We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found.'
I reckon because its built into 8 they have removed it for download, and cant be bothered with helping out us devs who are forced to make our projects work in their more archaic browsers :'(
Also before anyone says it, IE8 compatability mode != IE7
There's a toolbar you can get but it still doesn't match up to Firefox, especially for javascript debugging.
IE8 will be a huge improvement for development.
The following is specifically for IE7, other versions are probably similar.
Here is the new link to the developmment tools from microsoft.(as of 4-26-2011) IE Development Tools
Once installed, you will need to enable the toolbar.
To Enable, click on Tools | Manage Add-Ons | Enable or Disable Add-ons, to enable the addon.
To add the icon to the IE Toolbar, right click on the IE menu | Customize Command Bar | Add or Remove Commands. Add the "< (arrow) >" icon.
Hope that helps.
You can also use IE watch, which is like firebug, but you need to buy it. It is a 30 days trail version.
Actually, the best add-on for developers to IE would be Fiddler. It has a number of features that the other browsers possess.
