Debugging Dynamic Actions

Because the Dynamic Actions framework is actually implemented as JavaScript that is processed in the browser, debugging dynamic actions is approached a bit differently. APEX still uses Debug mode to determine whether or not the Dynamic Actions framework should emit data and you can still enable debugging in all the same ways that have been discussed. However, instead of inserting data into the underlying debug messages tables, the Dynamic Actions framework emits message to the browser's JavaScript console.

The information that appears in the JavaScript console takes the following form:

Dynamic Action Fired: [Dynamic Action Name](Specific Action Fired])

Figure 6-28 shows an example of using the FireBug JavaScript console in Firefox to view the debug information.
