Hello,

I followed your tutorial on validating and debugging Javascript and it doesn’t seem to be working. Validation of Javascript IS enabled and has been from the beginning however some errors in my Javascript (e.g and extra ‘)’) were not caught upon typing, at save, nor when running a validation as your tutorial indicated. My setup info is included below.

Thanks!

Please provide an example of file contents that we can test on our end, and point out the error it should be catching. Sometimes these can be a case of misunderstanding a spec, and other times it could be a missing case from our validator not catching the isue.

[Cytyc]

Hi there, below is a segment of a script we’re using in a form. If you add an extra ‘)’ to an if statement, or add an extra ‘}’ anywhere in the script, validation does not pick it up. This is pretty straightforward test and I would think these types of errors would be caught eventhough I’m not familiar with your spec for validation.

Thanks,
Cytyc

Cytyc,
Thank you, I’ll file it and have someone look at it. Just to clarify this is inside a HTML/JSP page right?

[Cytyc]

hello, yes, this is within a script section of an html page.
