Hi,
 
May I ask anybody to post any experience here on how to debug client-side JavaScript in XPages in the Notes client?
 
JavaScript errors *should* appear down in the statusbar, but they aren't. The script just stop executing when a problem appears without any message.
 
Did somebody find out anythig?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Debugging XPages in the Notes client
Client side javascript print statements don't appear for XPages in Notes Client. Server-side javascript print statements get logged to the support trace (Help-Support-View Trace).
 
Is your client-side javascript specific to the Notes Client? For debugging, unless you're looking at specific Notes Client behaviour, I'd recommend debugging with something like Firefox and Firebug.
 
If you want to look at the source code, you can use View Page source button (this only appears if you have Designer installed)

Re: Debugging XPages in the Notes client
Thanks Paul!
 
I was looking at a session from the last Lotusphere, it's on the 22th slide that XPage error messages should pop up in the status bar (http://www.slideshare.net/ddrschiw/ad108).
 
It's so strange that there is no possibility to launch a debugger for client side javascript... Isn't there any add-on for the Notes client?

Thanks once more for your answer,
 
Adam
