<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's the method I have been using -- and even
then it requires a great deal of insight to know just where to insert the echo,
alert, whatever -- and the parameter(s) to track. No, I'm looking for
something like the production 'C/C++' code debug utilities, which do
variable-tracking, single-stepping, "real" line number flagging, concordences,
variable modification path analysis, etc. etc. People are basing their
business structures on the quality of our code -- it makes sense that we elevate
our quality control beyond the mom-and-pop screendoor and JavaScript-coding
methods of yore. Some packages (like PHPEd) apparently do fairly good work
on the PHP side, but ignore the nuances of JavaScript, HTML, etc. I don't
want much, I just want everything!</FONT></DIV>

about good old debugging messages? put alerts, echos, or just words

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A lot of the "bugs" and confusion I've seen in
the last few weeks/months could have (in theory) been ameliorated somewhat
by a good code-checking routine -- either as an on-line service, or as a
downloadable utility. I for example use a hodge-podge of JavaScript,
PHP, and HTML code which would probably send most simple code-checkers
screaming out the door. IE and Netscape/Mozilla are kind enough to let
you know when your code is completely whacked, but their notion of
line-numbers and originating module names are pretty hilarious -- plus they
don't do concordences, and they always crash at the first fatal error --
rather tedious when you have 1,417 of them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone seen and/or found something that
would help us feebs get a grip on our code before harassing the bulletin
board with our diverse lack of insight?</FONT></DIV>
