Enabling javascript console?

I read the instructions here:
http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/07/28/safaris-hidden-debug-menu/
and I opened the Terminal (Macintosh HD>Applications>Utilities>Terminal). The Terminal window displayed:
Last login: Tue Feb 6 13:54:51 on ttyp1
Welcome to Darwin!
<user info here>$
I then pasted in the command:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
and hit return. The Terminal window displayed:
<user info here>$ defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
<user info here>$
The instructions say:
Now the next time you start Safari, you’ll have an extra menu up top called “Debug” and inside are all kinds of goodies.
I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item. I'm using Safari 2.0.4, and there is nothing in the Safari Help when I search for "javascript console" or "debug menu".
17" intelimac 2ghz 2gb 250gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I then closed down Safari and relaunched it, but I can't find a Debug menu item.
I discovered that I didn't actually close down Safari. I thought closing all the browser windows shut down Safari. However, that is not the case. If you look at the dock and there is a black arrow pointing at the application's icon, then the application is still running. To quit Safari, I right clicked on its icon in the dock and selected Quit from the popup context menu (you can also click on Safari>Quit Safari). Then I relaunched Safari, and voila! the Debug menu item appeared in the menu.
If you want to get rid of the Debug menu item, reopen the terminal and after the $ sign enter the command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0

Didnt find Javascript console in Acrobat 9.1

Hi
I want to use acrobat javascript editor but i didnt find any javascript console or javascript editor to start javascript in Acrobat.
I didnt get debugger also . Searched in Advanced tab and also enabled Javascript editor--> Editor-->preferences--> Javascript

Acrobat Standard, Pro, or Pro Extended ?
In Acrobat Pro you can activate the debugger with Ctrl+J.

Acrobat 9 on Mac: Cannot enable javascript debugger

I've tried setting Javascript preferences as follows:
Enable Acrobat Javascript
Enable menu items JavaScript execution privileges
Enable global object security policy
Enable Javascript debugger after Acrobat is restarted
Enable interactive console
Use Acrobat Javascript Editor
I then restarted Acrobat, and invoked the JavaScript debugger, which starts up with a notice at the bottom: "The JavaScript Debugger is not enabled. You can enable it in the JavaScript preferences."
I get this same result in MacOS 10.5.8/Acrobat 9.5.4, and MacOS 10.7.5/Acrobat 9.0.0
What do I have to do to enable the JS debugger?

I tried this method (both) but nothing work. My last retry comes with a failure message:
And here is the error summary:
Exit Code: 7
Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW013 ...
-------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------

It seems like the problem of my OS X (I know my system is buggy all the way). Looking for method to fix it.

Javascript console not coming up

I'm designing a form in LiveCycle, writing some code. In the past, when I made a code err the JS console poped into view with err messages but it no longer does so.
I have rechecked that the console in enabled in Acrobat (9). Applied all updates. Tried ctl-j to bring it up with no success.
Now must fix code problems using trial and err. Am self-taught JS coder so this slows me down a bunch.
Any ideas? Thanks! (Also posted to Acrobat forum but no help as yet)

Hi,
Are you opening the form in Acrobat OR are you Previewing it in LC Designer?
If it is the latter, then when LC Designer is opening Preview, it may be using the free Adobe Reader, which does not have the JavaScript Console.
Other than that you seemed to have done the right thing by setting preferences in Acrobat.
Good luck,
Niall

Acrobat Reader X / 10 - javascript console problem / crash

Hi,
I develop adobe interactive forms and need javascript console badly!
My system:
Windows XP Prof.
Acrobat Reader 10 (free)
Internet Explorer 8
Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 9 (latest version)
The javascript console works just fine if I start an adobe form "native" = with Acrobat Reader X directly.
But if I use Adobe Livecycle Designer (latest version) [the issue also described here], the console just crashes / disappears right after it started.
The same happens if I open the pdf-file (adobe interactive form) with Internet Explorer.
E.G:
- When using Acrobat Reader "native":
console will open up on javascript syntax errors or by klicking a button ( javascript = console.show(); )
- When using Internet Explorer or Adobe Livecycle Designer:
the same pdf file cannot view the javascript console. it just "disappears immideatly" / crashes
There is any technical support for Acrobat Reader expect this forum - so I was told when I called adobe hotline.
I hope anyone could actually help me here.

Hi,
Don't open the console just the reader application. and then open the console from your script as you do.
I have noticed in the past that sometimes the console appears for a very short period of time and then vanishes and this appears to be caused by the console window being associated with the open Adobe Reader application ( when it has no documents open) rather than the open PDF file in the preview or browser.
Just a thought

Firefox 27.0.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 the button to enable javascript is missing

I am having a problem with the BBC iPlayer playing in a separate pop-out player. Their support people have asked me to check that javascript running is enabled.
In the Preferences content tab there is no button to enable Javascript, in fact the Preference screen looks nothing like the picture on the support sites.
I have found that other preference items have moved in Mavericks after I upgraded and I would be pleased if you could tell me how to get Firefox working properly again. FYI I have no problem with the pop-out issue with Chrome or Safari

How to enable JavaScript after downloaded ff25 running on Mac OS 10.8

Since I updated to FF25 I can't enable JavaScript which I need for sites I use.
I have the latest Java 7 version 45 but there is no plug-in appearing for Java.
I added Quickjava 2.0.2 I think this is the version, and clicked to enable java.
But when I visit the sites that require JavaScript I get an error message saying JavaScript not enabled.
When I test the java 'latest version' test from Java's web site using FF java cannot be detected, but it can when I do the same test using Safari.
How do I fix this?

How to get a pdf form to work without enabling JavaScript

I have two users at my job that need to user a form to validate charters, the form has a text field where the user enters the charter number and it pre-propulates the form with the institutions name, address, number, etc. We are in a locked down Windows 7 enviroment controlled by Group Policy. Our security policy does not allow enabling JavaScript in our enviroment so that breaks the form. I was able to get the form to work by first enabling Javascript, then by adding the document to the trusted locations list in the enhanced security tab. But since JS is not allowed to be enabled is there another workaround for me to get these few users up and running? The fix would have to be applied via Group Policy. We are using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

You would have to use either FileMaker to create such forms and use two related databses (relational Database) Of use a Form Created in Word using a Look up list.
Tele your company ite better to use Javascapit than the alternative of Active-X in a Word Form or if using a Mac Using AppleScript. of the three AppleScript first, Then Javascript, The avoid Active-X at all cost.

How to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi?

I'd like to how to disable 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Display PDF in browser' in Adobe Reader 9.1 msi.
Any help would be appreciated.

NeoChang:
You can modify the installation package using the Adobe Customization Wizard to toggle the "Display PDF in Browser" but I have not found a setting to disable JavaScript from the Wizard. I have created a script which makes the changes, but it has to be run for every user since that info is stored in the User hive of the Windows registry.
Disable JavaScript:
REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
Disable Browser Integration:
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\Originals" /v bBrowserIntegration /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f

How do I enable JavaScript in safari on my iPad?

I can't see certain videos on websites. I get a message to enable JavaScript or install Adobe flash. I went to settins and enabled JavaScript, but still not getting video.

The website may have a preference for Flash before using Javascript. Try a different browser like Skyfire (or whatever.) Regardless, if it's using Flash, it's probably not going to work very well with the iPad.
Tgara wrote:
As has been discussed here about a trillion times, there is no Flash or Java on the iPad. You are SOL.
Just an FYI, Java is not the same a Javascript. Safari on the iPad has Javascript, but not all websites work correctly with mobile versions of web browsers.

JavaScript Console Problem (only in LS preview mode)

Hello,
my JavaScript console "crashes" in preview-mode in lifecycle designer. It just appears for a "millisecond"´, well I see it flicker at last.
It doesn't matter if there is a syntax error or if I try to start the console by clicking a button ( Event click => console.show(); )
The console just flickers.
If I save the pdf file everything works fine. Console shows up on errors or if it told to do so (e.g. my button is clicked).
I cannot afford to save the pdf-file every time for some reasons (livecycle designer is used in sap gui, I have to run the whole process to get the PDF ...)
By the way, the same problem is present in Livecycle Designer if I use it "native", not called from within the sap.
I have already tried to close the acrobat reader tasks. There are two of them, when adobe reader 10 starts (native or in livecycle-preview).
But by closing one of the tasks, the second one closes, too. Therefore there is no help this way.
I use Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES 8.0 (8.01.2008.1.380548) and Acrobat Reader X (10.0.1)
The PDFs output in LS is set to Acrobat 8 (dynamic)
In Acrobat Reader javascript console/debugger is set as active, as well as to show errors etc.
It might be a problem realted to sap gui.
I just ran the pdf-preview in sap gui. And Console didn't show up again.
I have saved the same document from the sap print-preview on my local hd drive. Then started it with adobe reader and everything worked just fine.
Please do not blame sap only. As I have told before: the same problem occurs if I use livecycle designer "native", not within sap gui

it seems the problem is caused directly by adobe reader X.
I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
my configuration:
windows xp pro
adobe reader x
adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
admin rights on the pc ; )
I might add that you are not alone!
I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
That used to work until I installed Reader X.
Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!

Help! Enable Javascript in IE?

Hi everyone,
I seem to have a problem with my Javascript. When I couldn't view videos on Youtube or Flash applets, I tried downloading the latest Flash Player, but I discovered I already have the latest version. I then googled for help on how to enable Javascript in Internet Explorer (because on Youtube in place of the video that should be there, there is some text: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player). Since I already have the latest Flash player I concluded that I must have Javascript turned off. However, I haven't been fiddling around with the Internet Options lately, so I don't know how that happened. I googled for help and was instructed to go to internet options>security>custom>enable active scripting.
I did exactly that, only to find that Active Scripting was already enabled. So whats wrong with my Javascript? I used to be able to view videos and play flash games perfectly fine until now. I would appreciate some help in this area.
Thanks!

this is not an internet explorer support group, nor is it a Flash support group, nor a Javascript support group, and it certainly isn't a Youtube support group.
Go to a place like [http://www.daniweb.com|http://www.daniweb.com] and ask there.

How do I enable Javascript in Foxfire 29.0?

about:config does not give me a box with preferences so I can toggle Javascript on/off. When I try to download the add-ons for enabling Javascript to be toggled, they won't download -- I get a message that they are not compatible with Firefox 29.0.
I need Javascript to access the websites I most frequently use: my banks, my credit cards, my Gmail accounts, and YouTube.
None of the articles on Javascript seem to apply to my situation: I get a message that Javascript is NOT enabled.
I am running it in Windows 7, Service Pack 1.

This solution didn't work, because the page was redirecting and never arrived. It might have been because I was using Internet Explorer, which also is not Javascript enabled -- but the Mozilla Support Forum requires Javascript enabled in order to access it!
I used Chrome, and was able to toggle it when the about:config field ''finally'' opened. The originally posted instructions omitted the instruction that the command about:config will only work if you do it from the Firefox home screen, where the orange word 'Firefox' appears at the beginning of the destination.
