Internet Explorer no longer showing errors

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 29.2009

My internet explorer always used to show me errors when I had an error in my code.

For example from my memory “Unexpected End in like 23” or Variable Undefined in line 12. etc.

All I’m seeing now is a blank page.. I disabled Friendly error messages, and tried to use script debugging, but that is not what Im looking for.

I just started working on my website again, and I think it had to do with Internet explorer 8 resetting the settings. I do not know. Does anyone know how I can see these error messages?

To test it, I threw in an unexpected end on one of my pages. It just shows a blank page.

Anyone have any ideas!??
Thanks

@kiwibritJul 30.2009 — I don't think it's anything to do with browser settings. You don't say whether you ares testing your site on a local server on your computer, nor do you say what scripting you are using. There is a good article on debugging [url=http://onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2004/08/12/DebuggingPHP.html]debugging php here[/url], don't forget to set up error messages for MySQL. asp.net debugging is a saga in its own right - but for starters make sure that (in web.config) compilation debug="true" to insert debugging and if using Visual Basic, and set explicit="true" to force declaration of all variables. Only do that during development, of course.

I do very little javascript - so if you are using that, maybe someone else can advise - or you can google around.

@EliteGhostauthorJul 30.2009 — You were right, it wasnt the browser settings, it took me a while to figure it out, I had them give me a new php.ini. Inside this file it tells the server whether to output errors. it had "Display_errors = OFF" so I just had to turn it on .. Thanks
