Debugging JavaScript Code 479
Watching and editing variable values
To check the values of your variables as you step through the code, you use the
Dreamweaver variable list located in the bottom pane of the JavaScript Debugger
window. You enter variable names in the left column; the right column lists the
current values of each variable when the program stops execution at a breakpoint
or after you’ve stepped in the code.
To add a variable to your variable list, do one of the following:
•
Select the name of the variable in the code portion of the JavaScript Debugger
window. Click the Plus (+) button and press Enter.
•
Click the Plus (+) button, type the name of the variable you want to watch,
and press Enter.
The values will appear next to each variable as you step through the code. If the
variable is an object with properties, you can expand the variable (show its
properties and values) by clicking the Plus (+) button (Windows) or triangle
button (Macintosh) next to it in the list. The expanded variable is automatically
collapsed each time you step through the code.
