[Dynapi-Dev] A handy DEBUG method

[Ramon B. <ram...@f5...>]

Hi

I'm not too sure how people DEBUG javascript
But I have found this very handy but I am sure your
mileage may vary.

It removes the need for using the 'alerts' left, right and everywhere

The only drawback is before a refresh of the Calling page, 
you have to close this window also
(maybe set an onReload .. (close DEBUG window)


Anyways call it as such

var DEBUG = 1
...
if (DEBUG) doDEBUG('layer1 has loaded')


----------------------------------
function doDEBUG (str) { 

	if(!window.DEBUGWindow) { 
		window.DEBUGWindow = window.open("", "DEBUG", "width=300,
height=400");
		// force the setting of the new windows parent
		if(!window.DEBUGWindow.opener) window.DEBUGWindow.opener =
self
		window.DEBUGDynDoc = new DynDocument(window.DEBUGWindow)
		window.DEBUGDynDoc.setBgColor('#fff6f6')
		window.debugIT = new DynLayer()
		window.DEBUGDynDoc.addChild(window.debugIT)
	}
	window.debugIT.setHTML(window.debugIT.getHTML() + str + '<br>')
	window.debugIT.setSize(300,window.debugIT.getContentHeight())

}
