hehe... be d first one to comment.. nice.. firefox really great..

Great tutorial on how to find erorrs in our pages. Thanks Ken.

you dont need to solve the first error, because it is an error of friendstertalk page you only need to fix the third error, which tells you that there is a missing semicolon, i believe the error is about qoutations, you cannot quot a quotation itself, you have to escape all quoted quotation, to escape, just insert \ before a quotation. [b]\" [/b]

it means that it is trying to access the properties of blogs, but it couldnt find because it doenst exist yet, probably still loading. the solution for that is not to use setTimeout because internet conection is very volatile. use this code instead document.onload= function() { var ephemeral = "<center><embed src=\"http://www.commentyou.com/Generators/Custom-Clocks/clock.swf?s=146&h&u=http://www.commentyou.com&i=8&b=0x0000FF\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"197.05\" height=\"197.05\" name=\"Custom Clock\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"samedomain\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" />"; document.getElementById('blogs_1_3').style.height='300'; document.getElementById('blogs_1_3').style.overflowY='hidden'; document.getElementById('blogs_1_3').innerHTML = "<table width='100%'><tr><td align='center'>"+ephemeral+"</td></tr></table>"; }

no, they are not ok, especially for those who uses dialup, you can still use them but edit them just the way i did

hmhm.. i always receive errors in EC because of my scrollbar.. wahaha...

ohh my.. thx for this.. my profile has tons & tons of errors..

very..very...very...useful i guess IE also has debugger feature tools-->internet options-->Advanced uncheck "disable script debugger" but its not as convinient as FF @marfill, could u give some tutorial about DOM Inspector as well

[quote=marfillaster]Error Console(EC) is a firefox only feature so i suggest you to download firefox it you dont have firefox. Lets get straight to the point. Example our external js source looks like this [quote]alert("hello"); alert("hello + pagviewerFName);[/quote] So we expect the above code to show two message boxes, the first one will say "hello", the second one "hello YourName" Let see what will happen if we test it. Oops... not even one showed up... Now this is where EC is good at. Here's a screenshot of what EC, btw to open EC click Tools>Error Console [url]http://h1.ripway.com/mumbhaki/Tracker%20Tutorial%20%20by/error.jpg[/url] The screeny shows two error, ignore the urchin tracker errors, those are google ads' error, they doesnt affect anything in your profile. The first error tells us which line of code messed up, notice the encircled link, that's our js link(this is always the link we need to look for incase there are many errors), click it. And the link will pop up our js code. Notice again that the source highlighted the line of error. [url]http://h1.ripway.com/mumbhaki/Tracker%20Tutorial%20%20by/src.jpg[/url] Now this is the difficult step. How will we fix that line of code? What if the line look so cryptic we cant even understand what the hell that line's for. This is what we call DEBUGGING . It is already beyond the scope of this topic because debugging requires you to have atleast basic knowledge in javascript, to learn more about js goto www.w3schools.com/js So what now? How will we fix it? For the sake of this tutorial, we will move on, atleast for this example only. Now we go back to ripway and edit our js there. And we fix the error. [quote]alert("hello"); [b]alert("hello + pagviewerFName);[/b][/quote] the above error is actually caused by a missing quotation. So after fixing, the code should look like this [quote]alert("hello"); alert("hello[b]"[/b] + pagviewerFName);[/quote] Then we test it again, im sure it will work.[/quote] nice poting broo keep up the good attitude go ...........go..............go..........
