Accessing your debugger log

Introduction

Just like Studio has a log file to help diagnose bugs, the JavaScript debugger has an error log that you can access through Firefox or IE. If you think you find a bug in the debugger, you can post the log contents to the forums to help the support team troubleshoot the issue.

Instructions

You will need to have installed the debugger into your browser to be able to access your log. See Installing the JavaScript debugger or Installing the Internet Explorer debugger for installation help.
