Javascript debug trace

[Targol]

I have a javascript that is dynamically created by my framework. I want to check that javascript content in order to debug it. What I do for the momoent is an "alert(response);" before sending the response. My problem is that the response content is so big that the alert box cuts it before the info I need to check. Does anyone has a clue to override that problem (tracing the response to a file, a console or anything else on which I'll be able to see all the response content) ?

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

there are several option, you can dump the debug into a textarea for example or you can use Firefox/Netscape's Javascript debugger which will allow you to step through the code just like Visual Studio.

Well, thanks for your answer. I already tryed Firefox javascript debugger but it dosn't work on dynamically created JS. By the way, I managed to solve my problem using a dirty but eficiency method to replace the "alert(response)" : I coded a Js function like this :

function traceLongString(trace2Cut, separator) {
  var str = new String(trace2Cut)
  var list= str.split(separator)
  for (i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {  
    alert(list[i]);
  }
}
