I’m fairly new to Ruby on Rails so sorry if the answer is obvious, I couldn’t find anything via search. Right now I have my view rendering _box.js.erb which simply draws a box. Inside _box.js.erb, which works correctly under normal circumstances, I introduce a simple syntax error like an unmatched parenthesis. When I load the webpage, my box doesn’t show up. I look in logs/development.logs and it has no mention of my javascript syntax error. Is this error being caught somewhere? If so, how can I display it?

    The error occurs on the client, not the server, so ROR cannot log it.

    If you’re using Firefox, install Firebug. Other browsers have JavaScript consoles, usually opened by pressing F-12 or looking on the “developer” options on the application menus.
