When you preview your form in Designer or open it in Acrobat, you simply need to press "Ctrl + J" on your keyboard to see the JavaScript Console. If you're using Reader, you won't be able to see it since that feature isn't available in Reader. sravya,

You’re welcome!

When you are used to code completion etc. from Visual studio, eclipse etc. you feel like you were set 5+ years back in time! /Thomas Jyske Bank - Denmark Hi Formbuilder

It's right in between app.alert and console.println - no RSI from closing the alerts, and no having to bring up the JavaScript console. But you do have to remember to remove this field (and the code that sets it) before you're done with your form.
