alert();

I've searched the forums and can't find a straight answer. I want to put an alert in so I can see the value of a field, but I keep getting errors. Any suggestions?

I use something like this:
<div>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
// Example of logging for debugging. Messages will appear in the error log.
logger = java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger("birt.report.logger");
logger.warning ('onCreateCrosstab');</pre>
</div>

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

So today I learned something new. Apparently the logger is only available in commercial BIRT, Thank you Clement Wong.
 
For debugging in OS BIRT, launch eclipsec.exe. Thatâ€™s with a â€œcâ€ at the end of eclipse for â€œconsoleâ€ so that youâ€™ll have two windows â€“ one with Eclipse, and the other a command line window to see the messages.
 
Then, you can use: 
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
java.lang.System.out.println(â€œHello worldâ€);</pre>
Another option is to write to a log file like in the image attached.
