16 <h3>I'm trying to load my code with the URL
17 <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?foo/bar.html</code>
18 and I'm getting all kinds of JavaScript errors.</h3>
19
20 <p>
21 Internet Explorer 6 seems to have problems with a <code>file:</code> URL
22 that has a query string with a slash in it.
23 </p>
24 <p>
25 As a workaround:
26 </p>
27 <ul class="list">
28 <li>Place your files on a web server instead of loading them from the file system.
29 (<code>http:</code> URLs work fine.)
30 <li>Do not use a query string; enter your URL in the "URL" field in the "Browser" tab.
31 <li>Rearrange your directory structure so that <code>bar.html</code>
32 ends up in the same directory as <code>jscoverage.html</code>; then
33 you can use the URL
34 <code>file:///C:/foo/bar/jscoverage.html?bar.html</code>
35 with no slash in the query string.
36 <li>Use a different browser. (IE 7 seems to work.)
37 </ul>

39 <h3>JSCoverage changes my cursor to a busy cursor, and it never changes back!</h3>
40
41 <p>
42 Certain browsers (<i>e. g</i>., Internet Explorer 6, Opera, Safari) have trouble changing
43 the cursor. Try moving the mouse and your cursor should change back to normal.
44 </p>
45
46 <p>
47 See <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/631908bd63241136/783c307480f95d8c">this discussion</a> for more information.

50 <h3>JSCoverage hangs sometimes when rendering the coverage report.</h3>
51
52 <p>
53 With Internet Explorer 6 (I think I see a pattern here), garbage collection can cause performance problems.
54 (More information <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/garbage-collection-in-ie6">here</a>.)
55 </p>
56
57 <h3>Can JSCoverage be used with <a href="http://www.jsunit.net/">JsUnit</a>?</h3>
58
59 <p>
60 It is necessary to run JSCoverage in <dfn>inverted mode</dfn>. You will have to
61 modify JsUnit to launch JSCoverage.
62 </p>
63
64 <p>
65 See the directory <code>doc/example-jsunit</code> for an example. It
66 contains a copy of JsUnit version 2.2alpha11, with the file
67 <code>jsunit/app/main-data.html</code> slightly modified to add a button
68 which launches JSCoverage. It also contains a simple unit test file <code>test.html</code>. You
69 can instrument this example as follows:
70 </p>
71
72 <pre>
73 jscoverage --no-instrument=jsunit doc/example-jsunit doc/instrumented-jsunit
74 </pre>
75
76 <p>
77 You can then run the <code>test.html</code> file in JsUnit's <code>jsunit/testRunner.html</code>.
78 The simplest way to do this is probably to copy the contents of <code>doc/instrumented-jsunit</code>
79 to the root of a web server and then access the URL
80 </p>
81
82 <pre>
83 http://127.0.0.1/jsunit/testRunner.html?testPage=http://127.0.0.1/test.html&amp;autorun=true
84 </pre>
85
86 <p>
87 After the test suite has been run, click on the "Coverage report" button
88 to get a coverage report.
