You're calling this an AJAX debugger. Debugging in PHP is relatively straightforward, if you set the error level properly and build your own error handler, etc. So people on this list would probably think of a PHP debugger as an unimportant piece of software. Debugging in Javascript is more complex and difficult, and the responses you're getting on the list sound like people think Formaldehyde is for debugging Javascript (which PHP programmers often aren't very interested in). On the Google code page for Formaldehyde, you only emphasize PHP debugging, as that's the only type of error example you give. If the point of Formaldehyde is to debug PHP code, then you should call it a "PHP code debugger", not an "AJAX code debugger". Tedd's right-- basic AJAX transactions are incredibly simple, and once the code is written (it can be copied from any number of books), it needs no further work. General Javascript is a different matter-- it can be quite complex and quite hard to debug. But AJAX is a very narrow application of Javascript. If Formaldehyde is really a debugger for AJAX code, then you should change the examples and text of your Google code page. If Formaldehyde is really a debugger for Javascript code, then you should change the examples on your Google code page to show Javascript errors, and call it a "Javascript debugger". If Formaldehyde is really a debugger for PHP code, then call it a "PHP code debugger". The examples on your Google code page fit this. Paul -- Paul M.
