Building A JavaScript Debug Console

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

javascript.jpgThere are plenty of tools to debug JavaScript in your browser. But there are still some cases where good old alert boxes are necessary. Still, sometimes data becomes overwhelming and those alerts become impractical. I recently encountered one of those situations when remotely debugging a client web site. So I whipped up a little console to capture the outputs in one shot.

The console is featured in my latest tutorial on GreenZeta.com. Head over there to check it out.

It’s time again for another tutorial. This one was requested by a friend of mine that gets hosed by spam. There’s not much you can do once your address gets out, but there’s plenty you can do to prevent it from happening in the first place. One cardinal rule is to never, ever, publish your e-mail address on a web site. However, sometimes you just need your address out there. This tutorial shows you how to hide your address from spam bots using JavaScript. It isn’t a prefect solution, but it’s one of the better ones.

A new tutorial has just been posted. This one addresses a fairly generic technique of using binary strings to keep track of quiz answers. The example is in JavaScript but applies to any language. Even if you don’t have to score quizzes, there are many other applications for this technique. Go check it out and see for yourself.

A new tutorial has just been posted which builds on the .Net eMail functionality discussed earlier. With the power of .Net it is easy to create your own form mail applicaitons. This tutorial offers a simple form mail script you can use on your own web site, and helps you understand how it works.
