[Xerte-dev] Re: Debugging Xerte

[Kemp Johnathan]

I found out recently that if you have Xerte open with a debug window open,
then publish your project, when you run your project in a web browser it
will output the debug statements to the debug window.

I was thinking more of something that would stop and step through operation
for situations in which Xerte dies on you. So that you could put in break
points.

Having slept on my particular programming problem I now have some useful
ideas were to start looking for the offending code - time to go looking is
another matter :-(

Kind regards

Johnathan
