there are a couple steps before or instead of "open the debugger"
step two for me would be get FireBug its a firefox plugin if you are using firefox3 you need firebug 1.2, when a page has an error it shows a little red icon in the bottom right corner of the page you can click on which opens a window with the errors described by Rossko. It wouldnt help you interpret the errors you see but it makes it obvious where the browser thinks they might be (there is also an error console under tools.. which shows an error that has been hit and an approximate line number even if you havent installed FireBug) On Sep 10, 10:15 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When using firefox, and go to tools, javascript debugger, the open > windows pane, and then go to the current open document > > It opens up the source code for the page I am wanting to fix.
