Is there any way for Jsfiddle to output javascript errors, an exception, or anything? I have tried to google this, but nothing seems to be out there.

I need to place alert() s through out my javascript code, so i know approximately where a runtime error has occurred, and then guess what the problem is. Surely there is an output console or something where JSFiddle outputs any error?

Surely there is an output console or something where JSFiddle outputs any error?

jsfiddle is only executing the javascript code you have written. So the output is written where you usually expect it to: the console of your web browser. That's where you will see any potential errors with your code.

On Google Chrome, the console can be accessed from inside "developer tools". You will see jsfiddle errors there.
