Debugging idea

Date: 10/12/07 (Javascript Community) Keywords: html, java

I got tired of clicking OK on a dozen alert statements when I was trying to debug some troublesome javascript, so I came up with this simple alternative:

function dump(descr,value) {
    // This function dumps javascript data to the page, if a place for it exists.
    if (document.getElementById("dump")) 
        document.getElementById("dump").innerHTML+=descr+": "+value+"
";
}

dump("troublesomeVar",troublesomeVar);
