Re: Javascript debugging with MS Visual debuggers

This is a problem I have as well I work in an IE 4.0 closed environment,
this is not a perfect solution but install a netscape browser it has a
great Javascript debugger although it will not pinpoint exactly where the
errors are but it will give you a better idea than MS debugging info.

Hi,

My company is developing web applications for IE6. (It's a closed
environment, so we don't have to worry about compatibility issues with
other browsers.)

I need a debugging tool which can capture the flow of events from IE6
and show me where the error is.

The free script debugger never seems to point to the right file, let
alone the right line.

On the other hand, when I worked on a machine with Visual C Studio
installed, I was able to apply the full debugging environment to
Javascript.

My question is; can use any of the present crop of MS Visual .NET
development tools to debug IE6 javascript? My guess would be yes, and
to use MS Visual Basic .NET Standard, but I don't want to buy it and
find out it doesn't do what I want it to do. And MS don't seem to be
advertising it as a JS debugging tool.

Thanks,

Ian
