I like to use the browser's address field directly: javascript:void(document.getElementById("textbox").style.display='none')) javascript:void(document.write("Testing")) javascript:alert(parseFloat("33.33")) If using the latter trick, don't forget to wrap everything in a vo...

I am currently using Emma as the code coverage tool for my project. I know how to get the code coverage analysis of running a sample Java test case.
