  1. How To Debug Javascript In Internet Explorer Jonathan Boutelle
  2. 3 Options
    • Microsoft Script Debugger
      • pathetic
    • Visual Studio .Net
      • Expensive and overkill
    • Microsoft Script Editor
      • The best option
  3. Configuring Script Editor
    • Not well documented
    • Bundled with Office XP / 2003!
      • Yes, this is wierd
    • This presentation will show you how
  4. tools->internet options->advanced Make sure Script debugging is NOT disabled
  5. Install Office
    • Office XP OR Office 2003 will do
    • No other versions have it
  6. View->Script Debugger->Open
  7. You should see this If you don’t, make sure you have the right version of Office.
  8. Using the debugger
  9. Method 1: break at next statement
  10. Method 2: debugger calls in javascript
    • debugger;
    • Puts a break point in both IE and Venkmen (Firefox debugger)
    • Makes your code ugly: not recommended
  11. When you hit a breakpoint Runtime Error is NOT a bug: perfectly normal
  12. Select Microsoft Script Debugger
  13. Wow: a real debugger!
  14. Cleanup
    • Make sure you shut down the debugger before shutting down IE
    • F5 = continue
    • Then close the debugger
    • Remember, IE is “part of the operating system”: you don’t want it to hang!
