[GeoNetwork-devel] Javascript error during ownership transfer (IE7 only) [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Folks,
I've encountered a browser related error in BluenetMEST (v1.1 and change
#1357). The error occurs when using IE7 to perform an ownership transfer.

To reproduce, login as a User Administrator and navigate to
Administration->Transfer ownership.

The error occurs when selecting a user in the source editor drop down list.

Further analysis shows the problem is in ownership/view.js at line 50. This
is where an XSL transform using ownership/client-group-row.xsl is being
performed. Actual code is:

var xslRes = rowTransf.transform(list[i]);

Can any of you AJAX gurus suggest why this is failing? Any documentation
pointers on XSLT support in IE7?

As a general question, what tools are being used to debug javascript in IE7?
Is there an equivalent for Firebug that allows the setting of Javascript
breakpoints, single step & variable inspection?

Regards,
Stephen

I've just started a new HowTo on debugging at:
http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToDebug

The answer to your question is "Yes!".

Microsoft Script Editor is the tool I have used to
debug JavaScript in IE. It has some typical
Microsoft clunkiness -- it's a "generic" script
debugger so some of the tools are a bit strange
when used on JavaScript -- but it does let you
do exactly what you are asking for.

Stephan,

One firebug-like tool I have found useful for IE is Debugbar
(http://www.debugbar.com/). It is not open source but it is free for
personal use.

Cheers,
Byron
