QUnit Newbie, working with Wordpad Text File - qunit

I'm developing a Javascript app with Wordpad [forced to]. When my test passes within the browser that houses qunit code, do I move the successful code to an alternate location?

If I understood your scenario correctly
Lets say the code that is going to be tested is placed myProject.js, and your tests are placed in myTests.js
You don't need to move the code to alternate location (after successful tests), you can just edit myTests.js to keep the tests for failed javascript code Or add new test cases (depending upon your requirement)

Web application written with Processing, using processing.js: how to debug?

I'm a newby in HTML, while I've some skill with Processing language.
I'm writing an application in Processing which I want to visualise in a local webpage.
I've a basic index.html, which upload my sketch and the file processing.js.
It works.
My problem is that sometimes, an application which runs with no proiblem using the Processing IDE, does not run in the webpage. I assume there are still some bugs in the porting from Processing to JavaScript.
What I would like to know is: is there some way to debug the webpage I try to visualise?
Just to seek "where" the webpage remains stuck! In this way I could bypass the problem!
For now, I'm using Firefox for html visualisation.
Thanks a lot, Valerio
Ops solved! I downloaded FireBug, an add-on for Firefox implementing a debugger.
Then I launched the debugger. It showed me immediately the error.
For curious people:
I declared an ArrayList called "foo_list", containing object "foo":
ArrayList<foo>foo_list
The above line does not produce any error in the Processing IDE.
However processing.js complains with it, the debugger displayng
the following message:
ReferenceError: ArrayListfoo_list" is not defined
The solution is to insert a blank space:
ArrayList<foo> foo_list;
This works! Maybe the error given to the parser
from Processing to JavaScript!
Bye!

Debugging dynamically loaded Javascript being generated from TypeScript in Chrome

With VS 2012, Web Essentials, TypeScript 0.8.3
There is a TypeScript file "test.ts". It is compiled into "test.js", having a sourceMappingURL at its end.
//# sourceMappingURL=test.js.map
The Javascript file is loaded dynamically with $.getScript. However, when in Chrome Developer Tools I cannot find the source anywhere, so a breakpoint cannot be set.
If I manually edit the generated Javascript by appending a sourceURL, the situation improves.
//# sourceMappingURL=test.js.map
//# sourceURL=test.ts
The name "test.ts" is offered in Chrome in the Sources tree. However, clicking on it opens the Javascript file "test.js". There breakpoints can be set and used.
Actually it does not matter, whether the correct name "test.ts" or any other name is coded.
What should be done, so debugging a TypeScript file, whose generated Javascript file was dynamically loaded, is possible with Chrome?
I also tried Canary. It made no difference.
I am writing to affirm what WhyMe wrote. Appending tag to using jQuery.append() does not add filename to sources tree, but using DOM element to .appendChild DOES add filename to sources tree.
var fileref = document.createElement('script');
fileref.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
fileref.setAttribute("src", 'Scripts/app/Views/Management/Spock.js');
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref)
Spock.js will be in the correct folder in Sources tree.
Using //# source=Path_to_file works, but
A. must have the pathing correct, and
B. filename appears under <No Domain>; which is really ugly.
PS - I do not have 50 reputation points, so I cannot reply as a comment next to WhyMe's comment, but I can add an Answer?
Working in Chrome Canary (25.0.1364.172 m), and using require.js to load scripts dynamically, I can set and use breakpoints on the typescript files:
NB that this only works on code which matches some JS output - so (logically enough) you cannot set a breakpoint anywhere inside an interface definition.
I'm not sure if using require.js for your on-demand script loading is an option. If so, it should fix your problem.
$.getScript would probably load the file using xmlhttp and adding the javascript later to the DOM thus the browser cannot map the javascript to the js breakpoint
Requirejs adds a script tag with a src attribute so the browser can still hit the breakpoints

Global.asax.cs is not visible at the server

Running under Server08 | IIS7. I have a website project and am in the habit of hand editing the Global.asax.cs at the deployed site many times in the past. Recently I've found that only the Global.asax is present and has only:
<%# Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="myDomain.MvcApplication" Language="C#" %>
There are simply no Global.asax.cs files present/visible for any of my active, functioning websites anymore.
I've checked here Global.asax can't find code-behind class and here where is the codes in Global.asax in mvc3? without getting anywhere. The second link contains the comment: 'That's because it's a compiled web application. You'll have to view it in Visual Studio as a project.'
But since my project has always been a website - and I've not converted it (intentionally) I'm puzzled by the changed behavior.
But when i step into VS12 and look at the context menu for the solution's WebProject it presents 'Convert to Web Application'. The sites' folder structures do not contain App_Data or App_Start. To my mind, these 2 fact establish at VS is treating the project as a website, why then, is the Global.cs compiled down to the /bin?
I'll close by repeating - I've hand edited these things in the past - I'm not positive but it's probably accurate to say that this is the first time I've tried to do so after installing VS12. And, coming to think on it harder - it's only recently that I've implemented the 'One Click Publishing' service so that could be coming into play.
verify? I'd like I need to edit a simple update without full re-deployment.
thx
I think the 'One Click Publishing' is most likely the culprit here. I created a sample Web Site project to experiment, and when I use the publish feature in Visual Studio, the files generated are indeed missing the Global.asax.cs file. Instead, a bin folder is created with a compilation called "App_global.asax.dll" even though it is a Web Site and not a Web Application. I am guessing this might be similar to what is happening for you as well.
If not, I found a link which might be useful to you in order to once again be able to edit a class on the server. Particularly, have a look at the second answer (the one not accepted as the best answer) to recreate a class file for the global code: Where is the Global.asax.cs file?
I tried this solution, and verified that the class file is editable on the server, and that it is dynamically compiled at run time (the modifications I made to the file worked immediately).
Hope this helps!
After editing the global.asax you need to rebuild and upload the DLL to the bin folder. Otherwise, your changes will not take effect.
You might be able to upload an web version of the global.asax that includes the code in that one file, which obviously does not require a .cs code behind. I used to do it with aspx files in an application but I have never tried it in the GLobal.asax file.

Phonegap on WP7 does not load images

I'm starting my first PhoneGap project and am developing using Visual Studio and Windows Phone 7, although I intend on ultimately deploying to iOS and Symbian as well.
However, I'm stuck at Step 1. I have added an image to the www/images folder, and put the following code:
<img src="images/login-btn.png" width="103" height="42" style="margin-left:90px;" />
And I get:
It works fine when I preview it in IE9, but I don't have a Mac to test it on iOS yet.
It's worth noting that the JS files and CSS have loaded fine, it's just any image (whether referenced in CSS or an <img> tag) always comes up broken.
My guess would be the Build Action of your image file is incorrect.
According to http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/48672055/Getting%20Started%20with%20PhoneGap%20Windows%20Phone%207#4Reviewtheprojectstructure section 4. You should be setting the Build Action of your images etc to Content which simply copies them into the output project when it is built. They are probably currently set to Resource or None.
To change the Build Action right click a file and choose properties to go to the properties window if you do not already have it open. It is probably then the first property. Just click and choose the correct one.
I'm posting this to questions that I found while trying to find my answer to the same problem. The JS framework I use adds a url query to each image when in a debugging mode (in order to force browsers to reload image, instead of using cached). So, my image "image/background.jpg" would be accessed as "image/background.jpg?d=34342233". But, when running on PhoneGAP for Windows Phone, it won't recognize the image, and thus it shows up as broken. So, I had to turn off debugging for the framework I use, and suddenly the images showed up (still, don't forget to set the Build Action to "Content" as mentioned earlier).

Multiple swf files not loading in DNN 5.X

We have run numerous tests now and it has now come down to either a DNN-SWFObject loading multiple swf files on a page or Firefox bug.
Here's the outcome we need:
Two swf files on one page:
Header.swf: which holds the nav and some bling animation.
Map.swf: which has different provinces of the country highlighted on rollover. The active province is highlighted by reading the URL via Javascript and then loaded into the Map.swf via FlashVars.
In all of our other tests in other browsers, the scenario works very well but in Firefox 3.5.3 The swf files refuse to show.
We have stripped this test down to the bare minimum, one html page scenario and embedding it the same way using SWFObject 2.2 and this works in Firefox. When it is uploaded in DNN, the swf files refuse to show.
Is there anything anyone can think of?
Many thanks,
James
My first thought would be the way dnn renames element ids - and are you using client ids
If you could post some code it might help to look at it or a url to look at
