| To debug script you must enable script debugging in Internet Explorer. |
Using the Script Explorer Window
The Script Explorer window shows a list of documents that are currently loaded into the program you are debugging. For example, in an HTML frameset, the Script Explorer window can show you the pages currently loaded in the browser. You can use the Script Explorer window to open a document and set a breakpoint inside the script code. You can also use this window to see and debug code that is generated by script on the server and sent to the client.
In a Script
When writing a script, include a Stop statement (VBScript) or debugger statement (JScript). When script execution reaches that line, the Visual Studio debugger is launched.
In Response to an Error
If the browser or server encounters a syntax error or run time error in a script, it displays a message that offers you the opportunity to start the debugger at the line where the error occurred.
