Answer 1

In Windows Try debug javascript with Charles Web Debugging Proxy www.charlesproxy.com

To enable the Web Inspector panel in WebDialog on Mac OSX...

1. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/com.xxx.yourapp.plist
2. Open the file with the Property List Editor.app(default) or other
3. Click on the add [+] icon
4. new item name "WebKitDeveloperExtras", then tab
5. set type to boolean, then tab
6. check box, sets this value to true
7. open your app, open a WebDialog, right click in a void and select "Inspect element" to open Inspector

Answer 2

There's a checkbox in the Internet Explorer options that might help:

Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing

• Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)
• Disable script debugging (Other)

The "Other" will affect embedded webcontrols. If you uncheck that you should get error messages popping up when they occur in the SketchUp WebDialog.

It is possible to hook up debuggers as well, I don't remember exactly how it was right now, but I found this article which sounds very familiar. I think that should work: http://blogs.perl.org/users/mark_leighton_fisher/2011/09/debugging-javascript-in-a-webbrowser-control-from-vs2010.html

Caveat: Visual Studio is required.
