In the question Why will Visual Studio 2005 not debug my javascript? I learned that debugging is possible in Visual Studio 2005 but you have to start debugging your application and then press CTRL-ALT-N to open the Script Explorer to set break points, etc.

However, even with the following simple code, when I press CTRL-ALT-N, the Script Explorer window is totally blank. According to all the articles I have found on the subject, it should have e.g. in my case ‘main.js’ (I imagine it is like debugging in Firebug) but it is blank.

What else do I have to do to Visual Studio 2005 so that the Script Explorer shows my running javascript files?

javascript/main.js:

function test() {     document.write('this is from javascript code2'); }  function doIt(element) {     alert('This is the javascript function2.'); }

  1. Try attaching your Visual Studio to MSIE via Debug > Attach to process (not sure if it is there in VS2005, look around).

    When attaching to process make sure that you check script option.
