Using Eclipse to debug javascript in web pages [message #183776] Mon, 11 December 2006 10:49 Go to next message

Hi,

I currently use MS Visual Studio when I need to
debug the JavaScript within web pages. When an
error occurs in the page, I get prompted whether
I want to debug or not (as I have that enabled in
IE) and if I click Yes then I can choose which of
my installed debuggers to use. This is where I can
specify I want to use VS.NET and away I go. I
can even force this debug prompt at any point in
my code by adding the keyword debugger in the
code.

Since I've discovered the joys of Eclipse, I'd like
to do the same thing with Eclipse. Is it possible?
Can I get Eclipse to be listed as one of my available
JS debuggers?

If so, is it also possible with Firefox?

I doubt it but it's worth asking while I'm here. I know
Venkman exists for Firefox but it sucks (it's the worst
debugger I've seen in 20 years of programming)....

I'm surprised nobody knows if this is possible or not.

You might look in the ATF (AJAX Toolkit Framework) project
(www.eclipse.org/atf). They mention an embedded javascript debugger on
their home page there. I haven't mastered ATF installation to try it
but a recent ATF newsgroup posting says

Thanks Steve, I'd also seen that it was available in the ATF
but that needs Eclipse 3.2 and I'm using the BEA struts
version that's only 3.0/3.1. I was hoping to find that the
standard Eclipse would be capable of being a regular
JS debugger for IE like VS.NET can. I guess it can't
do it.
