Well, what can I say...I really hate Javascript.
I am not programming as profession but I sometimes work with PHP with
MySQL, ASP with Ms Access/SQL Server. I have done something in VB and
when I was jounger I worked with C.
But what happens with Javascript, it happens with no other language.
I work with WinXP SP2 & IIS5, now. But also with Win2k and win98, as
fas as I remember, it was the same. I always keep my PC updated with
Microsoft updates.
If I need to work with Javascript (I try to avoid it, but when it is
necessary...), I normally copy some files from the Internet for not
having to reinvent the wheel myself. Take this script, for example, a
typical form verifier:
http://willmaster.com/possibilities/demo/RequiredFieldsCheck/
but could also be another script, it makes no difference for what
happens.
I try it online and it works, I download the file to my hard disk. Ok,
it works. I copy the script to my file and it does NOT work at all. Ok,
I might have made a mistake...no way to understand what....
I do not attach here my file because my file is not the problem.
I run again the file downloaded from the internet and...it does not
work any longer !!!! It gives an error message...why if it was working
before and I have not edited it?!?
The error message is not important: it is one of those IE's yellow
triangle alert that refer to unexisting row and column. And you never
understand what's about.
I reboot the PC and same story. The original file downloaded works, my
files does not work (wihout any error message in my case) and the
orginal downloaded file does not work any longer after that!!!!
What the hell happens with javascript? Does it hangs the IIS service?
Does the function get stuck in the cache?
How can I avoid this to happen. How can I debug my scripts as I do for
all the others scrips/languages: without rebooting at the first error
message?
It's really disappointing: yesterday I managed to set up a webform +
page results in ASP + MS Access in a few hours and today I am stuck all
day with a stupid form verifier in Javascript.
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.
