Debugging Java Script

[jfavero]

Is there a recommended way to add debug lines to the JavaScript for debugging?? I am trying to build a zimlet to an external system and need to debug it.

I think I stumbled on the answer to this. In the Zimbra client add
?debug=1 to the URL and in the JavaScript Code add:

DBG.println(AjxDebug.DBG1, "Hello World");

When the client comes up, a separate window is displayed and shows the
println statements. Make sure you turn off your pop-up blocker!!

Thanx Joe

Yep. Thats the way to do it. You can also bring up the debug window *after* the client has already been loaded by entering "$set:debug 1" (minus quotes) in the search field.

Do yourself a favor, if you haven't already, go grab firebug for firefox. It gives you a ton of different ways to debug, without falling back to the old debug by printf ;-)
