I am attempting to debug a PHP web page in eclipse and the javascript crashes due to it detecting a DOM element (document.getElementsByName()) as an empty array.  I run this exact same file on my local web server (same as debugger is linked to) and it works in an external browser - finding the elements.

I have put an alert into the javascript (in the validateData() function on line 1432 of profile.php), to give me a length on the array returned.  
In the internal browser, it gives me '0' and prevents my javascript function from proceeding, preventing me from getting to the PHP script that I need to debug.
In an external browser (IE), it gives me '1' and the javascript proceeds normally and then the PHP script hits its bug and I can't see what's going on to fix it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open main file in PHP Debug perspective
2.Navigate to the "Your Information" view
3.Select "Submit" tab
4.Type 'yes' into the field and click submit button

main wrapper page for app

This is the page needed to wrap the home.php and profile.php files.

file with content that debugger executes incorrectly

this file has the line of code that is executed incorrectly in the debugger browser.

I am not sure what the reason is for this not working in the internal browser, but I found a work-around and have updated my conditional statements to check the length of the array rather than the existence of the array.  It seems to be working appropriately with that change.
