Hi Matt, The script debugger that comes with MS Office is excellent, better than firebug because it's a separate application rather than a plugin inside the browser. It gives you everything you could want, stepping through lines of code, mouseover popups of variable values, watches, breakpoints, eval window, call stack etc.
There is a free version but in my limited experience I couldn't get it to work properly. Does anyone know if the MS Script Debugger (the one from inside Office) is available as a standalone? Here's some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Script_Debugger Cheers, - Bob - matt_thomson wrote: > Javascript is a much bigger hassle for me than css, I had a lot of > trouble getting a page like this to work: > > http://www.sandersdesign.co.nz/our-work.php > > My biggest problem was that in Firefox I just click on the red cross > and it says: this file -> this line -> this error. > > I couldn't find a plugin for IE7 that does the same, and I find the > "errors on page...view details" message in IE next to useless, has > anyone found the same problems/ got round it? > > On Oct 9, 7:15 pm, Steve Boyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> +1 for virtualisation >> >> It also pays to design using really simple html/css and avoid using >> any css that doesn't work cross browser.
