Script Debugger

What is it?
Script debugger is a tool to debug your runtime JavaScript errors. For most simple JavaScripts and web pages your regular tools(like a note pad) work fine. When scripts become more complex and more external scripts you have, you cannot trace the errors easily. IE is not good at handling JavaScript errors, you can try firefox or Netscape that are equipped with JavaScript debuggers. However Microsoft has a script debugger.
