Introduction

An IE browser bar, which acts as a target for pseudo-debug messages from client scripts.

Background

In just about every web-application I develop, I end up creating some IFRAME or new window to act as a target for various debug related messages. I finally decided that this would be much easier if it was wrapped up in a browser bar.

Using the code

Copy Dahlia.dll to your favorite directory, and run regsvr32 against it. Alternatively, build the project.

Points of Interest

The code has only been tested against IE6 on WinXP

The browser-bar works by creating a property on the document's parentWindow which references the component. Scripts can then call against the component to perform actions in the browser-bar.

Included are a few files which demonstrate the browser-bar's usage. dahlia.js is a script wrapper around the document.parentWindow.debugDevice property which is assigned by the browser-bar. dahliaTest.htm is a sample HTML file which uses dahlia.js.

Other than that, the code is documented well enough to follow, but if you have any questions, ask.

Thank you very much. Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink Very usefull ! Jean-Michel LE FOL 23:47 27 Jul '03   It's a good replacement for the "alert()" debug tool Idea: I think that the bar could contain buttons for the debugDevice commands : clear, autoScroll and lineNumbers. I already used the HTML Source Explorer Bar by Bjarke Viksoe. Now, for debugging, I think I'll switch between this one and your debugDevice ! Thanks Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink 2.00/5 Re: Very usefull ! JBoschen 10:12 28 Jul '03   There's actually a context-menu, for clear, auto-scroll, etc, if you right-click on the bar. I guess I should update the article to include more info. Sign In·View Thread·PermaLink Sounds like the start of a good article Gary R. Wheeler 2:50 27 Jul '03   Jeremy, this sounds like a good article but it needs a little more depth. What kinds of problems did you run into making this tool? How's the code put together? What are some examples for how it's used? For more suggestions, see this article[^], which is a great guide.

I didn't write a more indepth article, because several, well written, already exist for this topic, here on CodeProject.com, in MSDN and elsewhere on the Internet. I did comment the code well, in the event that someone needs to refer to it as an example. My aim for the article is not as an example, but as a tool for developers to solve the problem I listed in the article. Gary R.
