Hello,

I dont know what I did, but all of a sudden, I dont get javascript errors to show up in the status bar anymore while I'm developing with javascript. This was a great debugging tool. It would tell me that an error occured, what the error was, and what line it occured on. A little vague, but helpful nonetheless.
Well, all of a sudden, I am developing, and I don't get those anymore even when I know for sure their is a javascript error occuring. Why is this, and how can I reinstall this feature??

Thanks,
Jason

Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing

Thank you Lrnmore,

IE60sp1 > Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing > Disable Script Debugging is not checked and Display a notification aabout every script error is checked.

Is this what you mean?

Thanks,
Jason
 
uhmmm erh,

Maybe tviman has another idea for you....
He's in the forum on this Friday afternoon.

That is what I meant though.

Of course reinstalling IE is not so bad.

Try google search: ie6 javascript debugging

ALready reinstalled IE60.
You know, there was an email I got a while back telling me that jdbgmg.exe was a corrupt file adn how to delete it. So I did, and realized that the description of the file was "Microsoft® Debugger Registrar for Java". But, eventhough I deleted it, it is still on my winNT system32 folder, so I dont think that is the problem.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks,
JHill
 
I'm not suer about winNT but I know that other versions of Windows have an auto recovery for system files. I had the same message sent to me. Every time I deleted the file, I could run a search for it immediately afterwards and it always reappeared. I thought it was a virus for sure at that point, but after a little web research I realized I had been duped. So.... I know that has nothing to do with your original question, but it might provide some insight as to why the file isn't missing.

Hello,

I still cant get my IE 6.0 sp1 to recognize javascript errors, which makes it very difficult to debug my script programming. Please help...
Does anyone know of any 3rd party software for IE60 that would recognize and help me debug javascript errors. I know VisualInterdev helps on my other PC. In fact, when I have a javascript error, it tells me what line, and asks if I want to debug or not. Any freeware would be great. Thank you.

" an email I got a while back telling me that jdbgmg.exe was a corrupt file adn how to delete it."

It wasn't, you were duped. Reinstall IE. Reinstall Windows. God knows..

Or maybe this is a good time to try a diff browser, eg Firebird (thread608-681568) or Opera.

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code:
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].
 
Hello,

First of all, jdbgmg.exe is still on my c drive. I guess I never deleted it all together, it kept reappearing on me. I dont want to reintall my OS if the file was not even deleted.

Second of all, I use IE due to its popularity. If I were to use any other browser for debugging, I am afraid that it would be an inaccurate assessment.

Thanks
