Question

Why I can’t debug scripts that reside in a partial view, that gets created in runtime?
To see the script in the list of scripts (in Chrome for example) and debug it, I have to move it to the “regular” view on the upper level or I have to move it to a separate .js file.
But what, if the script so small that I don’t want to move it anywhere, and still want to be able to debug it?

If you do not load the partial view via ajax (the view is in place at the initial page rendering) you can use ‘debugger’. If the code you want to run is added to the dom IE will not know where the actual code is located that you want to debug. So:

// javascript
var foo = 2;
debugger;
// more javascript
