Jobe and the attendees discussed how to identify errors in incorrectly implemented tags and tools for troubleshooting tags. He said errors are commonly the result of cookie values that don’t look like an IP address, modified tags and META tags that are not capitalized (and thus not captured by the tag). He suggested a number of tools for uncovering errors, including the Firefox Error Console, JSVIEW add on, JavaScript Debugger (Venkman) and HTTPFOX add-on. He also suggested Fiddler and Microsoft Visual Studio.

Jobe demonstrated how to troubleshoot tags, using the tools discussed in the workshop to identify and solve a cross-domain tagging problem that one of the attendees was experiencing on his web site.
