FAQ
Q: Why don’t you just use xbDebug instead?
A: xbDebug is a very good solution, but I was in a situation where the xbDebug license was incompatible.
Q: Why is the debug window not showing up?
A: First make sure you have any browser based popup blocking functionality turned off. DebugWindow output is disabled by default. After you have included the DebugWindow.js via a script tag, you must call
DwObj.SetEnabled(true);
to enable debug output.
Q: Why am I having problems getting this to work under Mozilla 1.4 and later running off my local filesystem/using a file URL?
A: First make sure you have any browser based popup blocking functionality turned off. Mozilla no longer considers different files on local filesystem to belong to the same “site” from a security point of view. My suggestion is to use DebugWindow from an http based URL. There is also a way to disable the checking from Mozilla, but it is dangerous from a security standpoint.
