Debugging Javascript file

Is there any way to debug a javascript file that I included in my ASP.net
project. or some reason when I call a javascript function in the file from my
ASP.NET code I get an error message. now if i strip the entire code or the
file and put just an alert the code obviously works. So there is an error
somewhere in the javascript code. i do not know where! is there anyway to
compile the javascript file to see if there are any errors in compilation?

thanks in advance

A simple way, which might not be sufficient for all cases, is to use FireFox
and type "javascript:" in the address bar, which brings up nice details
about errors (better than IEs). Of course that's assuming ur javascript
works in firefox.

if you use firefox, turn on the javascript console, it will list the line
number of the error.

Assuming you're using IE to debug, you need to do a couple of things. In the
Tools|Internet Options|Advanced tab, you need to enable script debugging.
This will cause IE to break when an error occurs. You can also add break
points to your JavaScript code, by adding the statement "debugger;" on a
line by itself. The script will break at any of these points.
