You can get browser plugins (esp. for Firefox) that help with JavaScript debugging. I think the favourite one is FireBug.
For CF debugging, there are a couple of tools that you can pay for (FusionDebug and FusionReactor), but I've no idea how good they might be. Personally, for CF I mainly make use of appropriately placed CFDUMP and CFABORT tags, and for JS I rely on the JS/Error console, and again dumping out simple variables within alert()s. > Hi, > > I would first like to say a big thank you to every one that has helped > me over the last few weeks.
