Please try to use Microsoft Script Editor (part of FrontPage 2003) instead of Microsoft JavaScript Debugger. Then it should be solved the headache of JavaScript debugging. Hope it helps,

I just thought I should include a link to the webpage listing extensions for MozillaFirebird, so that you can see what I'm talking about:

I wasn't so happy (as a web developer) since I discovered TopStyle years ago ^_^. MozillaFirebird rocks!

Have you tried using the Javascript debugger included with Mozilla? (Not the javascript console). It's a bit complicated to get started but, as it was specifically designed to debug javascript, I find it much more powerfull than IE's.

Lately, when developing webs, I've been using MozillaFirebird + some developer extensions, and I can't believe I survived so many years using IE. I can press ctr+8, for example, and a window will appear where I can modify the CSS of the webpage I'm seeing, in real time. Neat!

Sounds good Lauren. Can you send a sample database over before we go as far as an article?

Jake,

If you want, I can write you an article on the ultimate webview. It contains:

- sortable columns for every kind of field (dates, number, string, url)

- one click export to excel function

- lots of tricks to make the view ultra light in loading

It is too long to just describe it here as a trick, I would probably want to attach a simple sample database to it. I haven't invented it all myself, but I have combined the inventions of others. One being a 22 year old student with no prior notes experience, but a lot of time. I write rather boring, but effective, maybe you could lighten the text up.

Can't afford a vanity license plate with your name on it? It's actually much cheaper to change your name to match your current license plate...

Here's are some valuable tips for you, culled from some of my own experiences.

When you make an adjustment to the handlebars on your bike, be sure to thoroughly re-tighten things BEFORE heading off down a hill.

Japanese beetls wings contain a powerful anasthetic... one once landed on my beverage just as I was taking a sip - numb lips for about 10 minutes.

When working with electrical wires, wear some leather gloves (goat or sheep, even pig - thin and supple enough for detailed work). Especially true with stout wire, when you snip it, you make a sharp bevel. Working with this with bare hands will invariably lead to a few scratches here and there.

And finally, related to the last bit, after you put your gloves on and start working on the electrical wiring in your house: Turn off the main. !YAAAAGGGG!

Veer. This is codestore.net not support.microsoft.com ;o)

Sounds like you need to close all open IEs for it to take effect.

Easier than uninstalling the debugger is disabling JavaScript errors on IE's advanced options.

ok, so, i read jake's comments, install the debugger and open my browser, my homepage has a javascript error and i get the annoying error message.

i remember how painful having this debugger was and how it always prompted me for error messages when i had it before and why microsoft hasnt fixed it yet.

so, i uninstall it from control panel and restart my computer, i get the error message again.

the program is not in the list in control panel, my folder "Microsoft Script Debugger" inside the program files where i installed it, is empty. but why am still having an option as "Script Debugger" in my View of my IE?

Any ideas?
