Capturing addEventListener details

Question

HiCan anyone point me in the right direction to capture the event's details that runs on the browser when a specific action occurs?In one example we trigger an event on our site when we populate a textfield and then navigate away from it.I have tried using a script and running a script routine immediately after the even should have been triggered on the site at runtime.function Test(){var browser = Sys.Browser("*")var page = browser.Page("*").contentDocumentpage.addEventListener("form_field_complete", function (e) {Log.Message('Adobe event '.concat(e.type));Log.Message(e.detail);});}The test does pass but nothing is logged out.&nbsp;Do I need to run this script somehow via events instead of script routine?&nbsp;Any help greatly appreciated.Dan

You can't call TestComplete functions from events on web pages. It has to be a function the browser understands (e.g. an Alert), which TestComplete could then capture

Try changing your calls to Log.Message() to alert() calls (which the browser supports)
You can then capture the alert window using TestComplete and check the text in the alert.
function Test()
{
    var browser = Sys.Browser("*");
    var page = browser.Page("*").contentDocument;
    page.addEventListener("form_field_complete", function (e) {
        alert('Adobe event '.concat(e.type));
        alert(e.detail);
    });
}
&nbsp;If you don't get any alerts, you know that your event isn't firing properly.

Sonya,
&nbsp;
There was fantastic&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/articles/testcomplete/embedding-scripts-into-web-pages/ article on your site that along with the&nbsp;https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/app-testing/web/common-tasks/javascript.html&nbsp;documentation should provide solution to Dan.
Unfortunately, this article seems to be renamed or removed from the site. Could you please talk to your guys and ask them to return the article back?
&nbsp;
P.S. I believe that the mentioned article can be used for another question by Dan asked here:&nbsp;https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Functional-Web/get-elements-from-DOM-not-page-source/td-p/219054&nbsp;(even despite the fact that Dan already found solution with the help of his development team).
