I find javascript the hardest language of them all. It dont give you any feedback. Using

Code: Select all

if(debug) alert('blaah=' + blaah);
is not very handy. Im too in need for some jscript help. Any good addons to IE... i need to use IE in this project because of the nice modal windows it has :roll:

May I suggest you look into Unit Testing with JSUnit and JSMock? :) It's a world apart from having an idea but you do finish up with a nice set of tests to run in their spiffy testing suite.

Somebody did post a link to a JS IDE based around Eclipse recently. If you do a quick search you'll find it ;)

I've heard of this one but haven't used it. I'm not sure if IE7 is required or not

Unfortunately, it's not a debugger.

Hi ya all ! Thanks for the responses so far

Thanks for the great responses so far.

Well, after a couple of days playing around with 1st Javascript Editor...I decided to use TEXTPAD again.

It's true, as I thought before. They talked too much nice things about the editor and more of marketing than quality of the products. Try to download one and you'll see !

On their website, they said: 1st Javascript Editor can however detect errors in Javascript which is totally crap ! It can't even detect this simple but stressing error:

Code: Select all

var myArray = new Array;
I coded with the editor....then I clicked on the JAVASCRIPT ERROR CHECKER button in the application, and it said: "THERE ARE NO JAVASCRIPT ERROR"....hell, good bye 1st Javascript Editor....and thanks for the DEMO Product, it just SAVED my MONEY !...

Yeah, it is. And I was aware of its existance. That's the reason I asked about decent debuggers.

hm, what's wrong with it?
I "only" have the visual studio debugger but I thought the free script debugger was quite similar...
