I'm trying to use the Javascript debugger, but it doesn't seem to
work. I'm using Visual Studio 2008, asp.net, and Internet Explorer 7.
(I usually use Firefox and I can set breakpoints with firebug, but I'm
trying to get the integrated Visual Studio debugger, which I prefer,
to work with my Javascript.) In Visual Studio, under tools - options -
debugging - just-in-time all the boxes are checked to enable
debugging. In IE7, disable Javascript debugging is unchecked (both
boxes). I set a breakpoint in my .aspx source file where I know I will
go (on the first line of my function). I then click the green arrow to
start debugging. It doesn't work. My Javascript code runs but my
breakpoint is ignored. Breakpoints set in my code-behind file work
fine.

According to all the documentation, the debugger should work with my
Javascript. Is there a problem with IE7? Is firebug interfering with
the Visual Studio debugger, even though it's a firefox add-in?

Those two checkboxes are completely counter-intuitive. IIRC, one must
be checked and the other unchecked. Disregard the documentation as MS
is rarely right about anything (even their own products) and try the
two possibilities.

Well, I tried unchecking them one at a time, but it had no effect.
Strangely, even though I had checked the "Disable Javascript debugging
- other" first, when I debugged it was unchecked. I tried checking it
again and applying my changes, but I still couldn't debug.

microsoft.ALL exists.

OK. I tried the same thing and I can get the debugger to work that
way, but I would have to go through that every time. It should also
work if I debug the page, using F5 instead of Ctrl-F5, but it doesn't.
If I then try View > Script Debugger > Open (Break always gives me
"There is no source code available for the current location"), I get
an error from Visual Studio "The source code cannot be displayed."
