Client Script Debugging

[geet]

Hi All,

I want to debug my client script line by line as i used to do in .NET framework.

Kindly help with a best way...

I tried jslog() but it doesn't work, and every time i have to check browser console to check the warnings and errors.

Regards,

Shikha Khanna

Hi Shikha,

You can use alert statements or console.log to check in browser console

alert statements can sometimes be irritating so you can use console.log

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks

Hi Shikha,

There are several strategies for debugging client-side scripts:

• JavaScript Log and jslog()
• Field Watcher
• try/catch
• Debugging tools built into web browsers (browser dependent)

You can also use Chrome to debug Client-side errors -- Refer link
