Thumbs down Tools for debugging javascript ...?
Hi!
Maybe someone here can tell me if he knows a program/plugin for simple debugging of javascript code?
I am not looking for a complete framework or a development environment but something that alerts me when I forgot a bracket or use "illegal" characters.

I am tinkering with some smaller projects (DictioLauncher, improved Sudoku & other games) but am no prof. programmer. I mainly use BBedit which at least highlights some expressions... I work/play on an older iBook but have a windows emulator on board.

Thanx for any suggestions!!!

If you can run Javascript live on your PC, I recommend the Firebug extension for Firefox. Works very well for debugging and profiling Javascript. Plus it's free. More here:

Antother tool, but it is basically a full blown IDe also is Aptana... www.aptana.com. It is based on Eclipse, open source and runs on Win, Mac and Linux.

But, for what you are wanting firebug www.getfirebug.com might be the better choice.

Thumbs up
Hi!
thanx Alexander and Pilotbob for your suggestions!
I'll see into firebug as soon as I found out if that's available for MacOS 9x...

For now I found a "Javascript verifier" called "JSLint" by douglas crockford; that's (just so) enough for my humble needs though not very comfortable. I found that at

http://www.jslint.com/lint.html.

Now I hope there's available a firefox for older macs. (I CAN run OS 10.4 but rather will notwith my old maschine...)

Firebug is a FireFox add-in. So, if Firefox 2.x will run on you Mac the firebug will.

All those are useless, since Javascript used in Reader is not the one used in browsers. You would need a debugger made especially for Reader, and I doubt Sony is going to make one available.
Gotta stick to the old techniques - debug prints everywhere

Well, to my grief my old MacOS 9 does not support Firefox (rather: vice versa).

As I simply want a SIMPLE debug tool, I'll have to stick to JSLint for now. igorsk is right of course.
JSLint only will find obvious faults like forgotten (or accidentily removed) brackets. But these can be VERY much trouble in my experience.
