I have this code in my custom js.. I need to know if the alerts I’ve placed for debugging purposes should fire. There are 2 functions called one to clear some input fields the other does some specific setup stuff for my app. Both of the functions previously worked. I haven’t changed them. I need to know if I should see these alerts with the device either initializes or resumes (I have the same code inserted where the device resumes..)

//called when we initialize
function onDeviceReady() {
document.addEventListener("resume", onDeviceResume, false);
alert('Device ready first time about to clear input');
clearInput();
alert('OnDevice Ready about to call set rate');
setrate();
}

My first thought is yes the alerts should appear assuming this function is actually called and there are not errors in the code.

1) How are you testing it, e.g., on a device, in the Mobile Web Simulator, Test Center….?
If you are testing on a device please provide all the details of that device: model, os version, everything….

2) What version of mobione are you using?

3) If you are using mobione 2.5 please specify what version of Cordova API you have specified.

Wayne,

Thank you for your response… I built a test app and found that indeed it should fire the alert. At first I thought it was an issue / idiosyncrasy of the simulator for iOS7 but that wasn’t the case…

I’m getting up to speed on Javascript and I thought that it was a top down interpretive “language” but that does not appear to be the case… It seems that 1 misplaced or mal-constructed line of code regardless of it’s location in the custom.js seems to invalidate the whole thing… That was my case in this instance… I thought that the code would be executed from the top down and fail on the offending line of code….

Thanks again for the review and comment…
