Hi,

I had started using the Javascript debugging console in Chrome and I love it, it's normally so hard to see what is going on inside the JS code. However this has stopped breaking for me on my selected break points. I dunno have I done something to cause it to stop but I would like to get it started again. (I have checked the basics like that breakpoints are on the correct lines and that the breakpoints aren't disabled, I have restarted Chrome and my machine) 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
David.

Hi Vsevolod,

Thanks for getting back to me. I am very grateful.

I will do my best to provide you with more info.
My browser is Chrome Version 22.0.1229.79 m.
There is now URL to the site as for now it's just some internal coding.
I will attach a code snipid. 
I would like to break inside in this function (I have set my breakpoint to the line with the alert)  so that I can see what is available to me at that point.

function exportQueryResultsToExcel () {
alert ("start - exportQueryResultsToExcel");

var selectedReportIndex = document.getElementById("whichReportID").selectedIndex;
}

Looking at your screenshot it seems that you are currently editing the file where you are setting the breakpoints (it has a star near the file name, and the breakpoint looks like disabled because of that).
We do not currently support editing and debugging at the same time.
Does it work for you if you reload the page and try to debug the page without editing the script?

Hi Vsevolod,

Sorry about that, i did click reply instead of reply to all. Thanks. I will include my answer to you on the bottom of this email again, so others can see it. 

Script reloaded and rerun and still it will not break. I have attached a new screenshot.

Again thanks for your speedy help :)

Regards,
David.
