Answer 1

I discovered today that we can now debug Javascript With the developer tool bar plugins integreted in IE 8.

• Click ▼ Tools on the toolbar, to the right of the tabs.
• Select Developer Tools. The Developer Tools dialogue should open.
• Click the Script tab in the dialogue.
• Click the Start Debugging button.

You can use watch, breakpoint, see the call stack etc, similarly to debuggers in professional browsers.

You can also use the statement debugger; in your JavaScript code the set a breakpoint.
