How can I watch (i.e. debug) xmlHttpRequest() acti

问题:

I normally do my web dev using Firefox - I periodically test for cross browser compatability of my pages by using FF and IE.

I have just found that one of my AJAX pages stopped working in IE - although it works fine in FF. With FF, I always use FireBug to debug my Ajax interactions. I am looking for a similar tool to use with IE - to see what it is causing it to fail, even though it is a straightforward AJAX process on the page.

I downloaded Firebug Lite and that was very helpful, as it brought a familiar dev environment into IE. Unfortunately, I have not been able to debug my AJAX interactions following the ForebugLite's documentation:

firebug.watchXHR: Use this function to watch the status of XmlHttpRequest objects.

    var req = new XmlHttpRequest;
    firebug.watchXHR(req);

I inserted that in my page - so the top of my page looks like this:

<script type='text/javascript' 
    src='http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js'>
    var req = new XmlHttpRequest;
    firebug.watchXHR(req);      
</script>

However, I still could not debug the AJAX interactions (i.e. nothing shows in the console window when I click on a link that triggers an AJAX call).

Has anyone managed to do this before (IE7 and Firebug Lite)?

回答1:

Or, you could install Fiddler and watch all of your web traffic.

回答2:

Try DebugBar - I think it will capture this.

回答3:

To use Firebug lite, you have to attach Firebug to each XHR request. So you'll wanna call firebug.watchXHR(req); for each ajax request you make, before you fire the request.

If you are using a library such as Jquery or Prototypejs to make your Ajax requests, you can wire Firebug lite into the process for easy debugging.

charles is another option for studying your network traffic but debugBar would probably be my choice.
