Question

I have many Javascript or jQuery methods in my ASP.net project. 85%+ is client side scripting. I have Jquery validate and Labelify plugins. Hence, whenever I make changes in Jquery methods or Javascript if something fails it is failing in the scriptresource.axd file and not allowing me to submit form. So I would like to have some error log or tracing so that I can log which function is passed and where it is failing.

So,

1. Is there any built in Jquery or Javascript method that does this log or Tracing.
2. If there is no built in please suggest me how to do that in easier way. Right now I thought like this to have Log(event,startOrEnd,isPassed); and call this method for each and every event triggering. But I have around 30+ methods so I don’t think its a good idea to do this way.

Please suggest a good way.

You need to use firebug or use Chrome’s console:

Then you can use all the console methods.
