How to get readable syntax errors in Java Script?

Question

Hi I am beginner in JS, Using linux ( Firefox, Chrome), Is there any way by which I get what are the syntax errors are there in my JS, the way I get my C syntax error in GCC?

Answer 1

Install Firebug, it will save your life!!! Anyway in Firefox you can look into the error console in the tools menu and in Chrome you can open the javascript console in the tools menu.

Answer 2

if you use a script-editor like netbeans, it will show syntak errors on typing. for testing in a browser, i would suggest using firebug (and i'm sure theres something similar for chrome, too).
