Any ideas how to do it?

Thanks.

Hi Mariyan

Tools to inspect javascript code in IE are difficult to find.

There is a solution to do that with Mozilla / Firefox

1) Download the WebDeveloper tools for mozilla and install it
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/
You have all you need to inspect your page ( CSS, HTML DOM,
javascripts with a debbuger )

2) Download and install firebug, an advanced tool to debug your client scripts
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/

3) Download and install the User Agent Switcher extension for Mozilla / Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
A tool to change the client signature of your browser

From the user-agent-switcher tool menu change user-agent to IE (
choose a provided version)

GWT will then believe that your browser is IE, serving generic and
specific javascript that
you can track, inspect and debug with the tools i'm speaking about.

I hope it helps.

Regards.

Er, starting with IE8, simply hit F12.

For IE6 and IE7 (but who really cares?), Microsoft provides the "IE Developer Toolbar" add-on.

Hi Thomas,

As you said, there is also a Developer Toolbar for IE8 ( IE6 IE7 too).

According to the Microsoft documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd565628.aspx

Tools provides support for JScript ( read the documentation from the url above ).

As you know, JScript is a specific Microsoft extension from ECMA Script with non-portability issues.

I met these issues during my work, it's why i advice Mozilla tools.

Mozilla developper tools always use standard compliant tools. It's why i made suggestion about them.

Without questioning the IE tools, I do think that the Mozilla tools are more suitable.
