Javascript debugging via “debugger;”

Sometimes my VS.NET just can’t “catch” my breakpoints in my .js files for some reason.
Yes, I made sure that the “Script” box is checked on the attached process, still, no luck.


Fortunately debugger; command is in the house !


It’s simple to use and it can be great for production debugging as well.


example (in myexample.js file):
function MyMethod()
{
   debugger; // ==> this will make the debugger to take over (you can use VS.NET or any other suitable program).   


   // your code to debug here.
}
