Get IE Debugging Tools?
Mar 5, 2010Microsoft Script Debugger has been depreciated.
What tools are recommended for debugging JS for IE? I'm only interested in IE7 and 8, but mostly 8.
There are plenty of tools for FF...

Debugging In Opera
Jun 28, 2006I really want to make my scripts work in Opera. I really, really do.
But it seems like an uphill struggle. First of all, I can't get ANY
kind of debug output. No error messages in the "javascript console" -
but then, I have never seen ANYTHING in Opera's javascript console. Is
there some kind of voodoo I need to perform in order to make that work?
Then, when Opera doesn't like something about a script (even if it works
fine in Spidermonkey), it will sometimes refuse to load it entirely,
which means I can't even do alert() based debugging. What the hell?
Can anyone give me some insight as to how they go about making their
scripts run properly in Opera? I make a point of sticking to ECMAScript
standards (and then making per-browser exceptions where needed *COUGH
IE*), but Opera just doesn't want to cooperate.
This is in Opera 8, by the way. I haven't upgraded yet, since I don't
use it, and I think more people still use 8 than 9 so that's what I want
to target.

Get JS Debugging Messages
Mar 4, 2010I'm finding (like small syntax errors) in my JS/html which are sometimes hard to spot straight away. For example, when coding python on the web, I usually use try: except: and then use the error function to output what went wrong on the webpage.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDebugging Remote JavaScript
Dec 4, 2006A newly added, not-quite-wanted function of my job is remotely
debugging JavaScript errors on other people's web applications. I have
tried finding a JavaScript debugger that would allow me to do that, but
other the Microsoft Script Debugger, I couldn't find any other.
Are there such programs? Basically, what I'd like to be able to do is
trace commands step by step and view the values of certain variables.
I was unable to figure out how to get Microsoft Script Debugger to
work. I read the documentation and executed it, but I keep getting
"Syntax error" messages whenever I want to see the value of a variable.
Add to that the fact that I am not a developer and I do not know
JavaScript (other than to read it, which is enough for me to figure out
what the problem is) and you see my problem.
I have read about the option of adding message boxes all over the
place, but this would not work out for me either, since I would need to
make changes to this code on the web server, where I don't have access,
and it would be a lot more tedious.
For those skeptical as to why I still expect to be able to debug
problems:
The problems are caused in most cases by the proxy we add on their web
servers, and they are due to values being changed on the fly. I only
need to find out where the code breaks and read the values of the
variables, which gives me the solution ("do not change this variable").
Colour Tools
Jan 16, 2004I created some RGB-to-HSL and HSL-to-RGB functions for JavaScript that I think might be useful for some of you. function fnRgbToHsl(r, g, b){ // R G B as integers, 0..255.
r /= 255;
g /= 255;
b /= 255;
var
max = Math.max(r, g, b),
min = Math.min(r, g, b),
l = (max + min) / 2;
h = 0,
s = 0;
if(max != min){
s = (l < .5)?
(max - min) / (max + min):
(max - min) / (2 - max - min)
h = (max != r)?
(max != g)?
4 * (r - g) / (max - min):
2 * (b - r) / (max - min):
(g - b) / (max - min);
}
h *= 60;
if(h < 0)
h += 360;
return [h, s, l];
}
function fnHslToRgb(h, s, l){ // H as degrees 0..360, S L as decimals, 0..1.
h /= 360;
function fnHueToRgb(x, y, h){
if(h < 0)
h += 1;
else if(h > 1)
h -= 1;
return ((h * 6 < 1)?
x +(y - x) * h * 6:
(h * 2 < 1)?
y:
(h * 3 < 2)?
x + (y - x) * (2 / 3 - h) * 6:
x);
}
var
y = (l > .5)?
l + s - l * s:
l * (s + 1),
x = l * 2 - y,
r = fnHueToRgb(x, y, h + 1 / 3) * 255,
g = fnHueToRgb(x, y, h) * 255,
b = fnHueToRgb(x, y, h - 1 / 3) * 255;
return [r, g, b];
}
If I get the time, I'll build some tools around them, such as methods of getting triad colours, complementary and split complimentary colours, analogous colours, saturation variations, luminance variations (tints and shades) and hue variations (chromatic variations).

Sep 15, 2007First, is this an appropriate NG for talking about debugging
JavaScript in Aptana?
Assuming it is, I'm trying to get a script to read an external text
file and display the text somehow. The script just dies in the file-
read operation, with no symptom. I tried unsuccessfully to get the
Debugger to run the HTML file.
I put up the following on my personal website:
1. The HTML file: http://home.comcast.net/~CaptQueeg/DemoFileIO.html
2. Some Aptana settings: http://home.comcast.net/~CaptQueeg/...bugSettings.jpg
Did any obvious mistakes jump out at you? Do my Aptana settings
suggest a reason why I can get anything happening under the debugger?
JQuery :: Debugging An Ajax Script?
Dec 23, 2010I recently changed my commenting system to display comments from newest to oldest (newest first). I also moved my comment form above my comments, like in Youtube.However, I have many JQuery problems when I have 2 or more pages of comments. Here are some of them:
1. If I comment, the last page (oldest) comments are displayed when the comment is submitted.
2. If I "reply" to a comment, the comment form moves below the comments.

jQuery(".comment-navigation a").livequery("click", function () {
$link = jQuery(this);

Safari Development Tools?
May 1, 2007In order of priority, I need the following for Safari:
* a debugger (with watch)
* a console (with errors and command line)
* Web Developer toolbar (edit css, validate local)
* DOM inspector (like Firebug or IE's DOM inspector). Firebug is awesome, though...
* Possibly a source editor
* anything else that is useful (like http://www.squarefree.com/jsenv/ or the other bookmarklets on squarefree.com that work for safari).
Does safari support hasOwnProperty now? What about named functions in object literals? syntax example:
Code:
{
f : function f() {}
}
JQuery :: Installing, Using, And Debugging A Plugin (jqPrint)?
Jun 8, 2011I'm looking for a little help/feedback regarding using a plugin called jqPrint. I haven't used jQuery extensively, and I am new to plugins, so please forgive any novice errors.
First of all, i see on the source page for the plugin [URL].. that it is made for 1.3.x. I assume this does not mean that mean it is incompatible with 1.4.2, which is what my project uses. I have a script with the source code, and I can access a test function. However, I'm running into several problems when trying to to use the primary function of the script.
[Code]...
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. The script is set up so I can access a test function, but the source function does not work. I would think anyone using the author's script should not need to edit it, but I can't figure out why my project cant' find the jqprint function.
Debugging & Logging A Server Side Script
Aug 28, 2009I have a couple of server side scripts that keep troubling me. So far I used Visual Studio to debug them, but for some reason I can't put in breakpoints and stuff ... So debugging like I'm used to is not possible. (I'm developing the sites in dreamweaver) I've tried adding a logging function to a flat textfile, but I've been told traditionally writing to a file is not possible in a server side script... how I can best debug such an application? Is it possible to do so in Visual Studio? Another tool?

JQuery :: Tools Scrollable - Goto Item?
Jan 9, 2010Is there a way to 'activate' an item in the list of items inside Scrollable? The thing I want to accomplish is this: call the api.seekTo() method inside a piece of javascript (this part works) and then visualy show the user what item in the Scrollable list it was that was sought. I know I can influence the appearance of an item clicked but what I do want is tell the scrollable to activate an item (and scroll if neccecary to bring said item into view). So clicking I understand, telling or programaticaly setting the item _without_ clicking and make it stand out (by using the activeClass property).
But I need the scrollable to goto the particular item, in this case my project is a dj timetable for times, so if its currently 2pm, goto that item in the scroller on start - of course, there's PHP involved, so that'll be used, I've already got the item classed as .active, all I need is the scroller to go to that item automatically.

Oct 13, 2010if it's possible to nest tabs inside a scrollable from jQuery Tools. Basically, replacing the page content with a set of tabs. I've tried a few times, and with the jQuery native tabs, there must either be some JS or CSS conflicts that prevent things from working properly.

Nov 15, 2009A little difficult to explain, but here goes:I've combined a couple different jquery scrollable functions to a webpage that I'm creating. URL...for my horizontal scrolling.The problem with the vertical scrolling function is that it relies on the mousewheel and mouse clicks for scrolling and I don't feel it's immediately apparent that the text scrolls. But I really like the effect, so I've added arrows and tried to get the functionality from the vertical scrolling example, but it's not working, except for the down arrow in the content in the very last tab. When you click on an arrow, it currently takes you to the previous or next horizontal section.
I know the answer is in there somewhere, but I'm not sure where to look for it. Here's the javascript file that controls the functionality:URL...
JQuery :: Tools Tooltip Works On Imagemap Area In FF Only?
Jan 18, 2010Some history: Although I know that it is considered 'old' technology, I have built hundreds of imagemaps over 10 years for a local photographer who uses a panoramic camera (now a spectacular digital one) to photograph weddings, schools etc. I then pop an imagemap area over each face and add a title (and alt text for IE viewers) that shows up on mouseover to identify the person.
I've been using the jQuery tools library recently and tried changing this tooltip demo which turns an image's title into a tooltip from:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#demo img[title]").tooltip('#demotip');
To:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#demo area[title]").tooltip('#demotip');
Thus grabbing the title associated with an area rather than an image.
I just built a quick proof of concept using the image map of a family meeting on one of my sites, and viewed it in Firefox. As expected, on hovering over an area the tooltip popped up at top center of the image, with the title text in it. Wow! GREAT! I thought. ;-)
BUT...
In IE: Tooltip pops up, containing the matching title text, but far away from the clicked area and NOT at top center.
In Opera: No tooltip, browser's title box opens by mouse position, but with out title text, instead it contains the a href link that clicking in the area would go to.
In Chrome: No tooltip, no title.
In Safari: No tooltip, no title.
(BTW All tests were done in current browser versions under Win XP)
I just tried Tero's demo at [URL] in all browsers and it worked fine, in every case the tooltip appeared top center of the image, with the title text in it! So it would seem at first thought to be involved with the way browser manufacturers have built their DOM... But further reading indicates that all post v5 browsers use the same DOM model, so I'm stumped. I've Googled quite a few threads where folk have had js/DOM/imagemaps conflicts, but have found no post resolving the issue.
Since libraries such as jQuery claim to isolate us from browser variances, is it just that imagemaps are considered so 'out of date' that browser manufacturers haven't bothered to update their code to integrate them into the standard DOM? (Bravo FF, 'does it right' again!)
Jquery :: Tools / Scroll-able Make Fully Accessible
Nov 10, 2010I want to make a list of divs into a vertical scrollable slider.Each div will consist of a small thumbnail image, a small title header and a link.I haven't started coding this yet but the above code should give you an idea of what I'm aiming for. The image thumbnails will be floated on the left, and the titles/links will be floated on the right.
I've been looking at the jQuery Scrollable script here and when I tested it with JS turned off, the rest of the content within the slider stayed hidden, instead of being visible and there was no way of viewing the rest of the content within the slider, other than the three images that were "in view".I would like to know if there's a way of making all the content within the slider visible all at once when JS is disabled. Is it possible to do this?
Serving Up Compress Pages Without Access To Server Side Tools?
Jul 23, 2005I have a website with no ssi, php, cgi...nothing. Plain old flat pages are all it serves.
I need to upload a list to it - a big, plain text list in html. A 2Mb list!
With gzip compress, it comes down to 91Kb, much more modem-friendly!
After about 30 minutes of googling, I haven't yet found a way of serving this page up like this.
I can't send headers as no php or .htaccess is allowed.
And please don't suggest I move to a "proper" web host! It's for a friend with a one-off need for a small website for about 2 months, and the freebie 10Mb is fine.
