Script Debugging in IE

Question

I am very interested in how you guys use large javascript in IE7 / 8/9 to effectively debug large (let's say 1000 lines or more).

It is so painful for me to read a message like "error on line 9328789237498" or "line 1", which makes absolutely no sense. There is no description of the error.

Should it be something like Firebug? you are welcome?:)

Yours faithfully

Answer 1

IE 8 comes with developer tools that are similar (but not as powerful) as firebug.

See: Discovering Internet Explorer Development Tools

Answer 2

Internet Explorer ( Explorer Developer Tools). Firebug, ( ) Firebug Lite.

Answer 3

You can use Visual Studio to debug Javascript. Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Uncheck the box to disable the debug script. Then run Visual Studio associated with the IExplore process.
