Debugging JavaScript and Freemarker Code

[Fred Victa]

What tools can I use to debug JavaScript code and Freemarker template code? Does anyone have any tips for debugging JavaScript code and Freemarker template code?

hi Fred,

You can use FireBug addon with your firefox to debug your JavaScript.

I am not sure about Freemarker as of now. Don't know even is it possible right now.

cheers

JavaScript runs on the client, whereas FreeMarker is interpreted on the server, so most debugging approaches will work for both as they're focused on one side but not the other. I think IDEs like IntelliJ, Eclipse and NetBeans allow combined client and server debugging.

Im' not really sure what are you doing to achieve but since you mentioned JavaScript and FreeMarker, have a look at Handlebars.js or Dust.js
Maybe both will ring a bell to you?
