Okay, so after looking for a while online it seems that most people think that Microsoft Script Editor is superior in debugging to Visual Studio or Microsoft Script Debugger. So, I've got MSE installed, and now I'm having trouble using it. I'll admit to never having used a debugger before. I've always just used alerts, and dumps and such in my code to stop the program flow or to tell me the value of some variable.

The stuff I've read online so far just seem to be talking about how to enable debugging in IE and then how to start the debugger. They don't really cover what to do when once the debugger opens.

Can anyone help me with using this thing? Or can someone point me to a good resource on learning to use this debugger?

Thanks heaps!
Chris

yes, u r right, u have to have one of those applications... i have used both script debugger and script editor. both are ok... so, first download and install it... and then follow the instructions that is given on the top of the blog entry. This should result in ur view->script debuggger menu...

if it doesnt, then goto options, disable script debbugging, the close IE, then open IE again, then enable script debugging again, then close IE and then open IE again. it should work...

    Thanks heaps, Mike! I've a question though.

    That blog entry you point to says:

    "When you've enabled Script Debugging 'View->Script Debugger' will now
    be present to help you break into the debugger."

    But, I'm not finding that's the case. Also, it goes on to talk about
    three applications that the author has used for script debugging. Do I
    have to have one of those in order to debug? Why don't I have the
    'View->Script Debugger'? Have you used this debugger in IE? How many
    angels can dance on the head of a pin? What are the eleven secret
    herbs and spices in Kentucky Fried Chicken? Can God make a rock so
    heavy even He can't lift it? Are you tired of my questions yet? ;o)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks again,
    Chris
