Best tool for JavaScript debugging

[Tina]

I'm getting into Atlas classes now and I guess I'm going to have to write
some javascript (ughh)....

So, to get started on the right foot, what is the best tool to use when
using JavaScript with asp.net apps... Microsoft Script Debugger??

Thanks,
T

A while back I wrote about how I debugged Javascript using Internet
Explorer and Visual Studio. It includes screenshots of each step.

At one point you can select between Script Editor and Visual Studio as
you can see in the screenshots I have posted. My guess is that the
Script Editor is similar to Visual Studio, but maybe Visual Studio
offers more features. If you do not have the Standard or Professional
edition of Visual Studio you could install the free version, Visual Web
Developer.

If you don't want to scrath your head on the wall or want something more
easier to use and without spend a lot of money, you can have a look at this:

Brennan,
That is a great article. Just what I needed. I had no idea debugging
JavaScript would be so easy.
Thanks so much.
