Debugging Question

[Bob L]

I'm developing a website using Win XP Home and FP 2003 and would like to
know how best to debug .asp files using the MS Script Editor. I gather I
have upload to the server and debug it from there. But using the MS Script
Editor to do this is very confusing.

I use to develop c/c++ programs and used a debugger to step through the
code. Can I do this with my website and the Script Editor? Is there a
better way to do this than using the Script Editor?

You don't have to use the script editor. For ASP pages you need to run
them thru the server. If the page results in error, the server (most of
th time) will let you know of the error and give you an error
description you can use to debug.

From what I found on th NET based on your question, "the Microsoft
Script Editor is provided in the Microsoft® Office XP applications, so
you can work with the HTML code, DHTML objects, and script in an Office
document from within an Office application."

That explains why I have never used it. I started working with ASP and
HTML BXP (before XP).

I've found that if I use Firefox to try out what I've uploaded to the
server, it will tell me when I have an error and that seems to work okay.
But what I want to do is to watch how the code is executed and what some of
the values of the variables are and I thought I had to use the Script Editor
to do that.
