Extracting Information from the Javascript Console

Extracting Information from the Javascript Console

If we ask you to provide information from the Javascript Console to help us debug a problem you're having, here's the procedure:

  1. Turn on Javascript error logging by going to the "about:config" page in Firefox -- that is, enter "about:config" in the Firefox address bar, the place where you normally enter a website address.
  2. In the Filter box, enter "javascript".
  3. Find the value "javascript.options.showInConsole" and set it to "true".
  4. Restart Firefox.
  5. Open the "Error Console" found in Firefox's Tools menu (called Javascript Console in Firefox 1.5)
  6. Press the "Clear" button.
  7. Do whatever you need to do to cause the problem to happen.
  8. Go back to the Javascript Console, select all errors that have been displayed there, and copy and paste them into an email to us. In your email, please also tell us your username and the version number of Xmarks that you're using.
