How to debug JavaScript files which are loaded dynmically?

Currently the web application I am working on loads in a number of script files using jQuery.Load() when the document DOM is ready. However, if those script files have syntax errors开发者_开发百科, neither Firebug or IE Developer Tool can reliably shows the line with error or give some really huge line numbers.

How can I debug such scripts? Or should I load them via script tags until I have verified that they are bug free?

firebug plugin for mozilla has a inbuilt javascript debugging tool. Which can be used for the purpose mentioned

I had exactly the same problem with YUI3. I reverted back to the admittedly less cool but more stable approach of including the required files - YUI3 has a neat tool for giving you all those script tags - i don't know if it's the same for JQuery. Sorry that's probably not that helpful!

Load them in by dynamically adding a script tag for them (using the DOM), that should do the trick:

var newScript;
var loadFunc = function ()
{
    alert("External Javascript File has been loaded");
};
newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');
newScript.setAttribute('src');
newScript.onreadystatechange = function() //IE triggers this event when the file is loaded
{
    if (newScript.readyState == 'complete' || newScript.readyState == 'loaded')
        loadFunc();
};
newScript.onload = loadFunc;              //Other browsers trigger this one
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(newScript);
