debug javascript in a JSP web application?

[apngss]

Is there any way to debug javascript in a web application? When I
develop JSP pages, and it has the javascript code in it. The problem is
the debugger in Java IDE (WSAD in my case) can only debug Java code but
not Javascript code.

What should I do to debug javascript code?

please advise. thanks!!

Hi,

What I find by far the easiest way is using Mozilla/Firefox and use the
outputwindow for JS. Tools -> webdevelopment -> Javascriptconsole.

That contains all errors made by your code.
Combine this with a few alerts, and you can debug a lot.

The Java IDE doesn't debug JS code.

Good luck!

You can debug javascript in Firefox using the Venkman javascript debugger.
