As the other respondent said, I am mostly able to ignore IE6 these
days. I no longer proactively test on it, and although I keep an
instance of it around on a VM, I don't run it unless somebody reports
a problem - and that's not often anymore.

Having said all that, it's easy enough to open the gadget's iframe for
debugging. In FF (or any other modern browser), right-click inside the
gadget, and tell it to open the frame in a new tab. Then you can just
copy the iframe's address into IE. From there it's basically running
standalone; there will be a few functions (like dynamic-height) that
don't work, but most things will. You should be able to set
breakpoints - either in your MS debugger, or simply with a "debugger;"
JS statement. I recommend the latter, as generated gadget line numbers
will often change from one refresh to the next.

I also recommend the IE View plugin for FF (https://addons.mozilla.org/
en-US/firefox/addon/35).
