MegaErrorHandler (<a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=spacegirl+meh"><span class="caps">MEH</span></a>) outputs its errors as specially-formatted <span class="caps">HTML </span>comments, with the details of the error encoded using <a href="http://json.org/"><span class="caps">JSON</span></a>.</p> <p>A small client-side script, with an associated stylesheet then pulls this data out of the comments and formats it as a nice little interactive bug-viewing console, allowing you to view a stack trace for each bug, inspect superglobals, view the syntax-highlighted source code for the file where the error occurred, check the list of defined constants and other useful things&#8230;</p>
