Debugging JavaScript in IE

Firebug is so powerful and easy to use, I almost never need to debug JavaScript in IE. However, every once in a while I will come across a bug that only occurs in IE. A co-worker of mine told me about the best free IE JavaScript debugger he was aware of. It has been a real life saver at times. I thought I would share the information here so that you too can debug JavaScript in IE, if you must.

It does take a while to download and install the Mircosoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition, http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/vwd/

This blog entry has steps on how to set up and use the tool the first time.

There some special instructions in that blog for getting it to work, if IE is not your default browser.

Hope you find this helpful
