Script Debugging Tips

http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/csharp/learn/whitepapers/How%20to%20debug%20script%20in%20Visual%20Studio%20.Net.doc

A few quick highlights:

o Internet explorer defaults to having script debugging disabled. IE also likes to disable script debugging when you install a new version of IE (example: XP SP2). In IE, go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced. Prior to Windows XP SP2, the option you needed to uncheck was 'Disable Script Debugging'. In XP SP2, the IE team decided to split this into two separate options - 'Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)' and 'Disable Script Debugging (Other)'. The 'Other' option control script debugging in other applications that use mshtml.dll such as Outlook.

o Try to keep all of your script running in the same script block. IE will sometimes get confused if you have more then one.

o To debug client side script that is in a .ASPX file, you will need to either open the ASPX file from the Running Documents window (called the 'Script Documents' window in Visual Studio 2005), or set a breakpoint by function name (Ctrl-B).
