Re: [Dynapi-Dev] A handy DEBUG method

[Richard B. <ma...@ri...>]

AFAIK it only works with server side technology, and you would have to tell
the user this happens, or they'd think it's spy-ware.

Apart from that I think I would implement it on my site, saving results to a
database, including the users browser and platform.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett
