Safari web developer debug mode

I always forget the Safari has a Debug mode for when you are developing web apps which allows the logging of JavaScript errors. To display the debug menu in Mac OS X, open the Terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

To display the debug menu in Safari 3.0 for Windows, use a text editor to add the following to the Preferences.plist file located at C:\\Documents and Settings\\USERNAME\\Application Data\\Apple Computer\\Safari\\Preferences.plist :

IncludeDebugMenu
