[web-devel] Re: adding debug output to a response

[Matt Brown]

Once in the GWidget monad, you can use "addHtml . string":

defaultLayout $ do
  -- stuff
  addHtml $ string "did stuff"
  -- more stuff

Alternatively, you could use hamlet to put your messages into divs, so
you show/hide all messages with javascript or firebug:

trace :: String -> GWidget sub y ()
trace msg = addHamlet [$hamlet| %div!class=trace $msg$ |]

Does that help?
