is there some kind of debugger for js in this world?

[umen]

except the Netscape consol
something that will help me more then using the alert every
f**ing time .. is there something in the work's somewhere ?
.......

I would definitely love a proper JS debugger - something like the VB one with highlighted code lines and the ability to set watch and break points (drools longingly! :p)

Try the Venkman JS Debugger that is bundled with Mozilla. It is among the best, and free!

can i download it as stand alone application ?
or it comes build in in mozila ?
sorry but im working at work only with IE
can you give more details on this debugger?

i use mozilla mozilla under linux. the ie debugger I hate but can be downloaded at msdn.microsoft.com.
when i ran windows windows the best one i found was the trial version of dreamweaver, it worked great and html and javascript, i would recommend it but it is a trial unless you have like a kajilian dollars. :)

[krycek]

um... I use Dreamweaver MX for my coding, and it does not have a very good debugger (IMHO!) either that or I haven't found it. :confused:

it is hard to find, if you go to the help pages and search for the jsdebugger or javascript debugger it tells you how to use it, haven't used it in a while thought.

[krycek]

Wow, thanks - I never even knew that was there! :eek:

It looks surprisingly good... I think I will have to do a bit of experimentation with it tomorrow :) it looks like it will be a life-saver :D

I also prefer to avoid alerts, if they get locked into infinite loops, you're browser is shutting down.

I use the window.status = x
for some of my debugging. Not as nice as a real debugger, but certainly more convenient than the alert , for me anywayz.

Good luck
