I just installed NetBeans 6.5 Beta on my Windows XP machine. I am interested
in checking out the improved JavaScript funtionality. Do we have any online
resources for it?
I am beginning to work with JQuery. NetBeans 6.5 beta ships with the
Javascript libraries including jQuery. I have some questions on how to
install them.
1. When I installed jQuery, NetBeans installed it in public\resources
folder a Rails app (I am working with Rubyweblog application - thanks Chris)
instead of the public\javascripts folder. Does anyone know why? The reason
I ask is that public\javascripts seems to be the most logical place to
install additional javascript libraries since, out of the box, rails
installs prototype and scriptacolous in that folder anyway?

Hi Bharat,

This is a known issue, feel free to add your comments:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=139651

A simple workaround is just not to use the included JavaScript
libraries and copy it yourself to the correct place. Then you should
be able to use the JavaScript editing and debugging features.

BTW, nbajax@netbeans.org is the best place to discuss this - cc'ing.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Let us take baby steps. Javascript
debugger is something that I have been anxiously waiting for and is a big
reason for upgrading from NetBeans 6.1 to 6.5. I am not sure if you want me
to report these to NBAjax forum? The reason I ask is that I am working with
Ruby (and Rails off course) only IDE for awhile.

At this point, putting jQuery aside temporarily, I will be very happy if I
could somehow launch the Javascript debugger in a simple HTML page shown
below:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Script 2.2</title>
<link href="../css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript">
var name = prompt('What is your name?', '');
</script>
</head>
<body id="twoCol">
<div id="container">
<div id="banner"> ../images/banner.png http://www.sawmac.com/missing/js/
</div>
<div id="contentWrap">
<div id="main">
<h1>Using a Variable, Part II</h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<p>Welcome ' + name + '</p>');
</script>
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
<h2>Script 2.1</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer"><em>“Building Interactive Web Sites with
JavaScript”</em></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

This is from the Javascript - The Missing Manual Book by David Sawyer
McFarland.

I put a breakpoint at the following line:

document.write('<p>Welcome ' + name + '</p>');

And I am following the directions on NetBeans wiki here:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/JavaScriptDebuggerNetBeans6.5M1UserGuide#section-JavaScriptDebuggerNetBeans6.5M1UserGuide-NetBeansJavaScriptDebuggerTechnologyPreviewUserGuide

The directions clearly state that you can debug individual HTML files
containing Javascript code. Please see the following snippet of text from
directions:

......
Starting Debugging
Project
You can use the Run:Debug Main Project action to debug the project.

Start Debugging a file
You can debug an individual.html file using the Debug File action in the
file's popup menu.

The debugger checks if the Firebug 1.1beta+ and NetBeans Firefox Extension
have been installed in Firefox. If not found a message dialog is shown:

.......

I have checked that both Firebug beta and NetBeans Firefox Extensions are
installed in Firefox and that Firebug is enabled. But when I bring up the
pop-up menu by right-clicking on the editor window for the code displayed
above, I do not see a debug menu. I went to the main pull down debug menu
which displays an option for debugging the currently open code which I have
pasted above, but choosing it does not do anything. There is something that
I am missing here. If one of you can try to replicate this simple setup
preferably on Windows XP machine, I will really appreciate it. I use my
Windows machine as a sort of test bed, since I am doing serious development
on my Ubuntu machines using NetBeans 6.1. I have two Ubuntu laptops and
will try NetBeans 6.5 next on them. Improved Javascript and CSS support
makes NetBeans 6.5 a very compelling story. Let us try to get this right.
I am not sure who to work with NB Ajax group. Should we not be inviting the
people responsible for Javascript integration in Ruby only IDE to
participate in beta testing discussions?

I think nbajax@sun.com is the right alias to approach with questions
about the javascript debugger. The JavaScript debugger is mostly
language/framework agnostic except for a small project integration for
each platform (Rails, Java EE etc). Hopefully somebody on the nbajax
alias from the javascript debugger team can comment on this.

Email sent as advised. Please see below:

I am using NetBeans beta 6.5 Ruby only IDE and am trying to work with the
debugger unsuccessfully. The developers in charge of the NetBeans Ruby IDE
suggested that I contact you. Please read the following thread to learn the
details of this problem:

Thanks.
