This will be great. Although I have gotten good at finding the exception in the source of the pretty error pages :)

Works great. Thanks!

You can also document.write() on 500 in the javascript to display the error instead of trying to read it in firebug.

I use it, too.

I use the Poster firefox add-on for a lot of Ajax-Debugging, but it seems buggy for HTTP_ACCEPT headers.

Thanks.

I always detect in my Javascript if the response holds HTML. If it does, I create a floating iframe and pass it the response. That way you can fold/unfold the stack source and use the debug page as usual.

Is it works with dev(trunk) of django?

I copy code to utils/middleware.py and add line to settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    ......
    'utils.middleware.AJAXSimpleExceptionResponse'
)

but I don't see any changes in ajax exceptions output..
