Hi,

The best way I have found to debug javascript is to view the page in your browser, right click on the page and view source, and then hit ctrl-G on keyboard and enter the line that the error was on. Make sure you set word wrap off in notepad or whatever the view source is being edited in. If you don't, ctrl-G does nothing.

Have you tried searching google first?

The first result I found when I typed "debug javascript in vs.net" came up with the following article

http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Articles/ArticleTemplate.Aspx?ArticleID=2183.

A quote from that article is:

The Running Documents window will appear docked on the right edge of the IDE. The name of the page, "WebForm1.aspx", will appear in the window. Double-click the page and the HTML rendered to the browser when the ASPX page was evaluated by the server will be shown in a code window on the left. The HTML rendered by the ASPX page can be seen by double-clicking the page in the Running Documents window.

The code provided by the Running Documents window is where a developer can set breakpoints and step through the code, just like in server-side code. Stop the project and bring up the form designer.

Have a look at this link, I have used this in the past.

After you follow the steps outlined you should be able to step through javascript code and also be able to use all VS debugging tools.

Hope it helps
