What is a JavaScript Debugger Module?

A JavaScript Debugger Module is a special type of extensibility module, which inserts special code into a document to interface with the JavaScript Debugger. The debugger modules are located with the Dreamweaver Program Files in the Configuration/Debugger subfolder. These modules insert specific JavaScript and HTML into a working document to create a "debug version" of the document the next time the JavaScript Debugger runs. The "debug version" is simply a set of temporary replicated files for the HTML document and each external JavaScript file, all created by Dreamweaver and saved in the current working folder. The debug version of the HTML file then appears in the browser. The JavaScript inserted into the temporary files, called "instrumentation", communicates with the Dreamweaver JavaScript Debugger as the JavaScript executes in the browser.
