Description Mikhail Matveev 2008-09-04 16:12:51 UTC 
Hi,

I just tried to use JavaScript debugger and failed. Following to the IDE instructions, I installed the Microsoft Script
Debugger to enable debugging in Internet Explorer. After that I performed "Debug" operation for a simple PHP project. IE
showed the logo "Netbeans: Netbeans JavaScript debugger" and got frozen. More, after that I restarted IE, but IE got
frozen EACH time when I entered an URL!

I don't know, if it's a serious issue or I did some stupid error.

System info:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200809021401)
Java: 1.6.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1251; ru_RU (nb)

Thanks.

I know it is working with IE as I tested complete MS debugger as well as our 
IE bundled extension install in Build 20080903152018. Somehow the installation of our 
bundled extension failed for you. I'll let Deva take over.
Comment 2 _ deva 2008-09-04 18:55:46 UTC 
Do you see any message in the Internet Explorer/NetBeans IDE status bar

BTW, to ensure you have the extension installed, can you try Debug|Attach debugger|Web Page Debugger, type in for
example www.hotmail.com and see if you see a active session in the NetBeans IDE.
Comment 3 Mikhail Matveev 2008-09-04 19:19:00 UTC 
I tried Debug|Attach debugger|Web Page Debugger and typed some URL. IE started, and its window has a title like
<path>\modules.ext.debugger---netbeans-debugger-po. After that, IE got frozen. As I said, not I get it frozen each time
when enter any URL :( I'll try to reanimate it somehow.
Sorry, need to go, will try to give more detailed info tomorrow.
Comment 4 Mikhail Matveev 2008-09-05 13:53:29 UTC 
In the status bar, the IDE shows "Starting JavaScript Debugger Session" message and a progress bar.
No message in IE status bar.
Comment 5 _ deva 2008-09-05 18:26:48 UTC 
We have been testing this on several systems successfully except for one issue with mdm.exe
Some things to try
1) Start IE
2) Check Tools | Manage Add-ons | Enable or Disable Add-ons
3) Check if NetBeans Extension class is in Enabled section

If yes, try to kill mdm.exe in the task manager if you see such process, then start the debugging

If not, uninstall Microsoft Script Debugger via Windows control panel | Add/Remove programs. then start the debugging.
Wait for the complete installation when prompted
Comment 6 Mikhail Matveev 2008-09-09 14:56:36 UTC 
Well, after full resetting IE I got it working. And I can't reproduce it again. Maybe some old IE content created this
problem? Anyway, the issue probably should be closed.
