I have a simple button in a form and want to place a break-point inside the .js code that gets executed when the button is pressed to submit the form:

/**
* Perform custom actions upon return from form submission.
*
* @param {boolean} isSuccess true if all OK; otherwise false
* @param {Object} data results of form processing; error message if isSuccess == false
* @return {boolean} true if OK; otherwise false
*/
phoneui.postSubmitForm_m1_Call_Me = function(isSuccess, data) {
// add custom postubmission processing code here,
// e.g., parse and process results & update UI controls with data as needed
// return false to terminate form processing
var AParty = data.AParty.text;
var BParty = data.BParty.text;

var URL = “http://myserver.com/cgi-bin/ons-de.cgi?A-Party=” + AParty + “&B-Party=” + BParty + “&Password=mypassword”;

var result = true;
if (isSuccess) {
// process data
result = true;
} else {
// submit failed
// data = error msg
result = false;
}
return result;
}

/**
* Notification that the UI is about to transition to a new page.
* Perform custom prepage-transition logic here.
* @param {String} currentPageId
* @param {String} targetPageId
* @returns {boolean} true to continue transtion; false to halt transition
*/
phoneui.prePageTransition = function(currentPageId,targetPageId) {
// add custom pre-transition code here
// return false to terminate transition
return true;
}

I can set a break point at the function call phoneui.postSubmitForm_m1_Call_Me which stops correctly in the debugger, however, pressing the step-into button results in the function being sprung over and the debugger stops at the function phoneui.prePageTransition.

Similarly, setting break points within the phoneui.postSubmitForm_m1_Call_Me function results in them simply being ignored.

I also tried the step over button incase there was a mix up in naming conventions on the UI but that did not help either. No matter what I do, I can not step into the funciton to debug it.

I’m researching this now to see what’s up! My 1st thought is there is an error in the function that is causing the step-into action to fail for some reason – just a guess. Have you inspected the isSuccess and data parameters to ensure that they are returning successful values?

[gmagill]

They are not appearing in the debugger at all as values that I could check.
