MAXIMO, Javascript Debugging & Firefox

[Ar-Pharazon]

Where I work, we use MAXIMO 6 for pretty much every phase of what we do, receiving, stocking/inventory, issuing orders, work-orders, etc.

I have admin rights to my own computer and currently have FireFox 3.6.17 on it in addition to IE.

This version of MAXIMO seems to be geared up for IE alone. I can get the log-in screen to come up in FFx, but everything is out of place. I can log in, but them none of the function links work at all.

All of the pages in MAXIMO have .jsp in the URL somewhere, so I'm hoping I can use a JS debugger in FFx to "fix" the issues, only I don't really know how to use a JS debugger, or if that's even the way to go.

Any experience here with this?

It's not life-or-death, but IE is so slow on it's own, plus the fact that MAXIMO operates over an intranet that has some fairly old components, so I figure FFx can only be faster.

JSP isn't JavaScript. It's Java ("JavaServer Pages"). The markup is being dynamically generated by a Java EE program running on an application server.

If you really want to tinker, you need a Java development environment and access to the source code.

So an add-on wouldn't work?

A Fx add-on for debugging JavaScript won't work. JavaScript and Java are totally different things.

Rats!

I guess I gotta hope we get Maximo 7, which is supposedly compatible with Firefox, sooner rather than later.

Thanks for the insight.
