Need to debug asp and javascript

[gilgamesh]

Hi there,
What's a good tool to use for debugging ASP pages which contain bunch of
javascripts?

Thanks,
Gilgamesh

Common sense.

=============================

ASP can be written in javascript, do you mean that?.

If you mean debugging clientside javascript [OT btw on this NG], try
debugging view-source-ing the browsers resulting file.

I was referring to run time capability to stop the execution and view the
contents of different variable within the code, without using the alert
function. View-Source is probably not a good way to debug a page containing
5000 lines of JavaScript. Or maybe it is?
Thx.

"View-Source"?
So you ARE referring to clientside script. As I said, then you are asking
the wrong NG. In this NG j(ava)script is only on topic as serverside
script.

=================

btw, 5000 lines of script can only be debugged if you use strict modular
behavour in your programming. Serverside scripting could be an eyeopener
for you.

"run time capability to stop the execution and view
the contents of different variable within the code"

A breakpoint by any other name?

Easily build in serverside jscript-ASP:

response.write("<br>value a = " + a );
response.end
