In the Try It Out of page 619, you show how to debug a Javascript for a web service.
I tried to apply the same techniques to debug the Javascript inside the web user control ContactForm.ascx, but I failed as I cannot set the breakpoints.

Is it not possible to debug a Javascript inside a web user control ?

Thank you

Hi there,

As far as I know, you should be able to debug script in user controls. However, it seems there are some issues with complex setups involving multiple files that cause incorrect behavior and breakpoints not being hit.

For cases where it doesn't work as expected you could use the debugger keyword in your code. Just put it on a line before the code you want to debug and it should bring up the debugger.

Alternatively, you could use Firebug in Firefox or other debugging tools in other browsers to debug at the client. I like and use Firebug a lot myself and it works really well.

Cheers,

Imar
