Unable to Debug Editor Source Code when i try to customize i

Hi there ,

I am trying to add a custom control on the Toolbar menu , not sure how to achive this any inputs are appreciated ,
now when i try to track the code , like how the control flow logic is developed and i try to change the code or insert alert msgs in the source code my editor doesnt work , i get a javascript error and i need to dump my backup file for this to work , this is somewhat difficult to go with.
I also enabled the DEBUG parameter to true and try using the DEBUG for debugging kind of thing still this issue continues.

Re: Unable to Debug Editor Source Code when i try to customize i

I insert alert() calls to FCKeditor's code all the time for doing experiments, it doesn't break the editor most of the time ( well it breaks the selections sometimes... but that's another story ).

If you are getting JavaScript errors after some innocent changes, it's quite possibly because you forgot to clear the browser cache after you've made you code changes. For example, it can happen like this:

You made some code changes that broke the editor.

You tested it in a browser, but it's still using the .js file from its cache. So your code changes seem to have no effect.

You insert an alert() somewhere to see why your code changes are not working.

The browser retrieves the new .js file this time, and gives out a JavaScript error.
