Javascript Debugging...

....has always been a pain point for me.  Nothing ever really seemed to work.  I would put javascript alerts (alert('hello!);) in my code to get the value of variables and fields on a page. 

Now, though, you can simply use a wonderful tool called Venkman, no relation to the Ghostbusters character.  Developed by Mozilla for the Firefox browser - it is a full-featured javascript debugger.

You can do any of the following:

• Set Break Points
• Step Into
• Step Out
• Create profiles (for performance purposes)
• Set up watches on your variables
• And many more wonderful things

And the best part - while not integrated into Visual Studio - it is integrated directly into Firefox based browsers.

Try it out, I'm positive you won't be disappointed!
