  • Debugging Javascript

    Debugging Javascript

    6803.book Page 451 Thursday, June 15, 2006 2:24 PM APPENDIX ■ ■ ■ Debugging JavaScript In this appendix, I will introduce you to some tricks and tools to debug your JavaScript code. It is very important to get acquainted with debugging tools, as programming consists to a large extent of trying to find out what went wrong a particular time. Some browsers help you with this problem; others make it harder by having their debugging tools hidden away or returning cryptic error messages that confuse more than they help. Some of my favorites include philo- sophical works like “Undefined is not defined” or the MSIE standard “Object doesn’t support this property or method.” Common JavaScript Mistakes Let’s start with some common mistakes that probably every JavaScript developer has made during his career. Having these in the back of your head when you check a failing script might make it a lot quicker to spot the problem. Misspellings and Case-Sensitivity Issues The easiest mistakes to spot are misspellings of JavaScript method names or properties. Clas- sics include getElementByTagName() instead of getElementsByTagName(), getElementByID() instead of getElementById() and node.style.colour (for the British English writers). A lot of times the problem could also be case sensitivity, for example, writing keywords in mixed case instead of lowercase. If( elm.href ) { var url = elm.href; } There is no keyword called If, but there is one called if. The same problem of case sensi- tivity applies to variable names: var FamilyGuy = 'Peter'; var FamilyGuyWife = 'Lois'; alert( 'The Griffins:\n'+ familyGuy + ' and ' + FamilyGuyWife ); This will result in an error message stating “familyGuy is not defined”, as there is a variable called FamilyGuy but none called familyGuy.

    XML PROGRAMMING: SUB CODE- 24662 QPCODE: -780 PART-A (Each question carries 1 marks, Answer any FIFTEEN(15) questions) 1.Mention any two part of XML tree structure. Root node Leaf node 2. Write any two use of XPath. (Any Two) XPath is a syntax for defining parts of an XML document. XPath uses path expressions to navigate in XML documents. XPath contains a library of standard functions. XPath is a major element in XSLT and in XQuery. XPath is a W3C recommendation. 3. Define WML. Wireless markup language (WML) is a markup language for wireless devices that adhere to Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and have limited processing capability. 4.What is an absolute location path? Location path specifies the location of node in XML document. This path can be absolute or relative. If location path starts with root node or with '/' then it is an absolute path. Following are few of the example locating the elements using absolute path. 5.Write the limitation of schema language. Poor support for xml namespace Poor data typing Limited content model description It supports only the text string data type. Limited possibilities to express the cardinality for elements. 6.Mention any two declaration that can be used in DTDs.
