How to use the CF Debugger with ajax.cfc?

I have the Cold Fusion debugger turned on in the CF administrator. However, in using Rob Gonda's ajax.cfc, it has the statement

<cfsetting showdebugoutput="false">

which turns debugging off on any page that uses ajax.cfc. If I comment out this line of code, I get Javascript errors and the ajax call does not work.

Does any one know how to use ajax.cfc and still be able to get the CF debugger information to display?

Thanks,

Mike

    please try this

    <script type='text/javascript'>
    _ajaxConfig = {     '_cfscriptLocation':'echoTest.cfc',
                        '_jsscriptFolder':'../js',
                        'debug':true};
    </script>

    refer http://www.robgonda.com/blog/projects/ajaxcfc/examples/echo/

    Catchme,

    Thank you for the suggestion. I had already tried that. That gives another overlay window with what I find to be useless information but not the regular Coldfusion debug information. Please see attached screen shot.

    My guess is that you can't have debugging info with ajax.cfc. I

    haven't used ajax.cfc specifically but if the output of ajax.cfc is

    JSON then the debugging output (which is HTML) will break that

    functionality. I usually debug ajax requests using Firebug for Firefox

    or Fiddler for IE.
