I have been working with web workers in HTML 5 and am looking for ways to debug them. Ideally something like the firebug or chrome debuggers. Does anyone have any good solution to this. with no access to the console or DOM its kind of hard to debug iffy code

As a fast solution on the missing console.log, you can just use throw JSON.stringify({data:data})
in the chrome debugger, in the script tab, scroll to the worker panel, and select pause on start.. it will allow you to debug a worker, and insert break points.. but you do all that in a different window
On new versions of Google Chrome just go to Deveverloper Tools > Sources (Or Right click menu > Inspect > Sources).
At the bottom of the Page left panel list you'll see the services workers within an engine icon.
