Using consolelog for debugging with Classic ASP
I am looking at a webpage written in classic ASP and I am in the middle of a "while" statement. I want to use Chrome Developer tools to debug values in my page. I tried to insert
console.log(value);
which works with C # apps, but it typed Expected end of statement
into the line console.log
I pasted.
I'm just looking for a quick tip on how to use the classic asp debugger?
You will need a Response.Write script using the console.log statement. Assuming the ASP page is outputting html.
I do this with a function that returns javascript console.log () and it works fine for me in most used browsers (IE 10, Chrome, FireFox).
function aspLog(value)
response.Write("<script language=javascript>console.log('" & value & "'); </script>")
end function
Then just call it in your asp page (or functions.asp file):
aspLog("Test text")
aspLog(100.0)
Unfortunately, this causes the generated html to be filled with javascript tags. Therefore, do not forget to comment or remove the theses of the aspLog () function calls when the code is ready.
