I could use the same post as this one, but with little differences.

The SFOPH published the new health insurance rates and, without surprise, once again, raised. This year, the rates raise of about 2.2% and is the most little increasing since the introduction of the LaMAL. But, everyone will still pay more that 300 CHF per month for the lowest franchise...

The project I am currently working on involves a lot of Javascript code to validate values entered by the users and to ensure that business rules are followed in complex forms. Unfortunately, and as everyone knows, it is tough like the hell to develop and debug Javascript code.

However, I recently found an article talking about a tool that was just under my nose and that I was not aware of. Here, I speak about the Microsoft Script Debugger. And, in this, it is a real little pearl. Working with Visual Studio since long time, I knew it was possible to debug Javascript code by attaching the Internet Explorer process, but the files needed to be local. Otherwise it is impossible.

But, the Microsoft Script Debugger tries to find all Internet Explorer sessions and, by selecting the instance you want, it is then possible to do a "Break At Next Statement". The next line which will be executed will switch you to the debugger window allowing you to execute the application step by step. It is even possible to watch the values held by the variables. You don't need to have the files locally and it allows you to debug a production environment as well where it is not possible to access the source code.

Well I would not say I am going the best friend of Javascript, but at least, it makes this task less tough. This application is in the Start menu, under Programs, Accessories, Microsoft Script Debugger. With Windows 2000, if it is not there, it just need to be installed from the Windows 2000 version, as a Windows component.

For the other Windows versions, please follow this link.

As you did not notice, I migrated the blog engine to the version 1.8.5223.2 of DasBlog.

Unfortunately, not all migrations happen to be as smooth as this one.

If you are in the SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) field, you should go to the ZapThink's 5th SOA Practitioner's Conference in Geneva, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

This event, sponsored by my Company, amongst some others, will held several interesting topics such as the basics of SOA (Fundamental SOA Concepts) and real world application of SOA (Real implementation cases of SOA).

Go there and have fun with SOA...
