Hmm.. I was able to debug my Seaside app's JS code (in this case YUI code)
using firebug OK.. I had to set a breakpoint (don't recall now how I did
that), but it would stop OK and I could inspect variables,etc...  I think
you will need to hit the "script" button near the top of the firebug
window and select the script you're interested in and then put a
breakpoint in the code to be debugged.  If you then re-load the page it
will remember the breakpoint and it will trigger next time the code is
executed.. At least it did for me.
