Here’s an idea for displaying those pesky ephemeral variables that come and go like ghosts in JavaScript. Check this out. I
want to know if I’m reading in a CSV file properly or not. You can use for any variable / array / object.
<script>
// Read in a .csv file
d3.csv(“../datafile.csv”, function(someData) {
debugMe(someData);});
function debugMe(whateverData) {
// ‘Sum Ages’ is a variable in row zero of passed var ‘whateverData’
document.getElementById(“debug”).innerHTML = “Debug: ” + whateverData[0][‘Sum Ages’].toString()
}</script>
<p id=”debug”></p>
