Okay, here's a weird issue for you guy sand gals.
I'm using a window.open tag in JS to open a .cfm file that will open in Excel (Report), however, the appended URL variable appears to change. It seems that the ? gets changed to an _ and thus the browser thinks its a text file and not a web page. Any Ideas??
window.open("amal_reports/rpt_change_indicator_notes.cfm?batch="+selBatch);
The URL should be
http://example.com/amal_reports/rpt_change_indicator_notes.cfm?batch=1160 but when the browser asks what do with the file it says
rpt_change_indicator_notes_cfm_batch=1160 and wants to open a text
file.
If I call the report directly in the URL without the form or JS stuff the same thing happens, conversely, if I remove the URl variable (?batch=1160) the report opens in Excel as expected but no data is populated because the batch number is missing.
So, to summarize, the browser is changing my .cfm link from js or directly in the browser to _cfm and thus it won't open in Excel as expected.
Okay, developer error! It looks as though checking the developers tool (F12) based upon theGleep suggestion, I found that my page was missing or couldn't find a variable. Once that was corrected the report open as expected.

I am using the google chrome to debugging the javascript source file, now I could debbugging the output js file, but the output js file is not human friendly readable. It looks like this:
from the google chrome console, I can see the call stack, and the google chrome tips shows that the source map are avaliable. But how to navigate the the js source file with current debugging line? I already type command + P in macOS but just shows the source files, I did not know which line should to navigate. the call stack only show the output js file line number.
Next to the "Page" tab (you can make the side bar bigger or click on those two arrows, there you will find the "Filesystem tab". If you add the corresponding folder to the workspace you will be able to edit and save those files.
Here's an article that explains it in details using a python server.
(note that you can use any local server you'd like)
(note that it won't work with local files url like file:///)
If you are trying to debug your current JS file at line 23487, steps would be to-
Load URL.
Open chrome debugger tools.
Put debug point on desired line.
Reload the URL, the debugger will pause at debug point.
You can watch below video for this, specifically #10:40 timestamp.

In the Chrome debugger's 'Network' tab, the 'Other' sub-tab shows a .flv Flash file being played. I'm trying to figure out exactly where/how that .flv URL is being generated, but I've looked through the JS for the site and can't figure out where it comes from.
Is there a way to set a breakpoint for when that .flv file starts getting streamed/played so that I can figure out how it's URL is being put constructed?
The request headers for the flv file in the Chrome debugger show X-Requested-With:ShockwaveFlash/24.0.0.194. So the request comes from Flash rather than from a JS file I think.
Or any other ways to figure it out?
Either the embedded SWF (Flash) app has specific code to construct the url (then method is unknowable) or else the app is reading the url from somewhere like a JSON or XML text file.
It could also construct by reading the text within an HTML / JS file. Third possibility is that PHP is involved in generating a link. So check the Network tab for such things (xml, json,php files which you open in a "new tab" to read).
Was there no flv found when you word-search the source of html or JS?... If all else fails then provide a testable link.
PS: To answer your Question : There's no loader breakpoints / load pausing in Chrome.
On Network tab you have multiple columns. One of them it's called Initiator. If' is missing, right click on any column and a dropdown with all columns available will appear. Check Initiator column.
That column should tell you what you need to find out.
I have tried looking for a solution to this problem on the site, but can't appear to find one. I have limited knowledge about this particular subject, so please excuse my ignorance!
Our website converts HTML to PDF using the Winnovative HTML to PDF converter.
The pages that need to be converted are using KnockoutJS and therefore the HTML code is not in the page source when the page is originally loaded.
I have tried setting a 30 second page delay, but it seems like the converter won't even save our home page, e.g. www.zapkam.com, let alone the pages that I actually need to save, e.g. http://www.zapkam.com/print.htm#/Orders/ZK1019467/Order/
This had previously been working fine on version 11.6.0.0 on a Windows 2008 Server, but since transferring to version 12.5.0.0 on a Windows 2012 Server, it is no longer working.
The fact that it was working before seems to point towards it potentially being a permissions issue as the server is not configured, but I would be very grateful for any insight!!
It will done using Javascript with Canvas,
As I had written code in your Print.html Page..
After successful HTML Rendered we need to call my button "print PDF" find in demo application..
Look into my demo Index page , It will create PDF and write to the client browser..

In my current web project i create reports based on data entered by User which opens in new tab. format of report is also decided by user whether in pdf or html. This functionality is working fine in all browsers including IE7/8/9/10. But recently when i am opening the same in Microsoft Edge, rather then opening report HTML in new tab it starts downloading the HTML file.
Other redirection links of menu page are working fine in Microsoft Edge. Problem is only in opening those reports in new tab.
Can you guys please help me out??
As #Diptendu pointed out in the comment, You will need to specify a 'Content-type' of 'text/html' so that the browser knows that the content is strictly HTML and should render it accordingly.
Browser tries to download a file instead of rendering when it faces some content type which it cannot handle. In your case browser is interpreting an invalid content type and hence trying to downloading it instead of rendering on a new tab. By specifying 'Content-type' as text/html you can tell the browser explicitly that the content is HTML and should be handled like HTML content.
I hit
Ctrl Shift J to bring up the Debugger.
I then went to the source tab.
The source tab states that you should hit Ctrl O to open a file. However, the only source it pulls up is the index.htm page and one statically loaded file.
I want to step through a dynamically loaded file.
That is a file that I called via ajax and then appended to the DOM.
Is there a way to do this in Chrome?
Ctrl + Shift + C in chrome.
Go To Source tab in the Chrome inspector that comes up, put a breakpoint on any file and line that you want to debug.
Reload the page and debug
Depending on the type of file, you should be able to use this developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/javascript-debugging
Note that whilst the documentation says the source map should be of the format //#, this didn't work for me for an injected HTML file with JS in it, but when I changed it to //#, then it worked and I could see the file listed in inspector (under the "domain" '(no domain)').
