Hi Grant,
I don't use VS studio, but I do use the MS Script Editor (as opposed to the
freebie Script Debugger, which I've found to be unreliable), which is the
same thing that you'll see inside VS Studio, I think. (Confession time: I
have FrontPage installed on my laptop, just for the script debugger - I've
removed the shortcuts from the start menu long ago.)
The script debugger doesn't cope very well with anonymous functions, and the
prototype house style very much favours these, as does my own coding style,
and several other modern JS frameworks,... oh well. The best workaround I've
come across when working with anonymous functions is to use the debugger
keyword in my code to halt it inside the function, e.g.
function blah(x,y,z){
$('node').onclick=function(){
alert(x);
alert(y);
debugger;
alert(z);
}
}
In general, though, I try to make sure anything I'm doing works in Firefox
too, even if it's intended for an IE-only audience, and debug all the general
issues in Firebug and then switch over to IE to catch the last 10% of
IE-specific stuff.
