How do we find where the error exactly happened after i opened console?

I eventually opened javascript console to figure out why it doesn't work for the programming, and the console said there are only 1 error, but it shows me there are lots of red and purple words which i still cannot figure out where is the 1 error happened. Does anyone know how to find the 1 error easily through JavaScript console?

P.S I'm using chrome by mac book pro.

Usually, the line number of the error is on the right hand side of the console. Often the purple words are the result of your console.log statements. So your could have an error and some console output in the console. Usually, the program stops if you have an error though.

Can you post a screen shot or post the code? I might be able to help out if I see it.

your JavaScript filename with code line would be underlined, so click on it and it will take you to the code line where you see error. Firefox is more precise with parentheses errors than google chrome.
