I’m trying to write some javascript for a Site Configuration file which will authenticate before redirecting back to the original url. I think that it’s nearly there but struggling to actually get it working! Does anyone know of a good way to debug this? I’ve tried using Google Javascript Console to see if it works. However, the jQuery object cant be used directly in the console. I’m guessing I need to use some other syntax to use jQuery directly. Anyone have any suggestions?  
  
  
  
Here’s my site config, in case you can spot something that i’m doing wrong:

```auto

<br />
    <!-- Loading --><br />
	<state name="loading"><br />
		<event><br />
        	<condition><br />
            	<frameLoaded /><br />
			</condition><br />
			<br />
        	<action><br />
        		<run script="function logMeIn(){login.userName.value='${username}';login.password.value='${password}';login.nextUrl.value='/page/playLiveTv.do?epgChannelId=1301';login.onsubmit();}"/><br />
        		<run script="var result=document.cookie.match(/skySSO=(.+?);/g);if(result==undefined){jQuery.load('https://skyplayer.sky.com/vod/content/Home/Application_Navigation/Sign_in/content/login.do',function(){logMeIn();});}"/><br />
			<pause time="5000" /><br />
			<goto state="playing" /><br />
        	</action><br />
    	</event><br />
	</state><br />
	<br />
	<!-- Playing --><br />
	<state name="playing"><br />
		<event><br />
        	<condition><br />
            	<frameLoaded /><br />
			</condition><br />
			<br />
        	<action><br />
        		<!-- Do Nothing --><br />
        	</action><br />
    	</event><br />
	</state><br />

```

  
  
Is it correct to use 'jQuery.load'... with a callback function to programmatically submit the login page?  
  
Thanks in advance!

No one? Is there any way to see the output from the javascript in the log files? I’m struggling to debug how far the script is getting and whats going wrong.
