In the question Why will Visual Studio 2005 not debug my javascript? I learned that debugging is possible in Visual Studio 2005 but you have to start debugging your application and then press CTRL-ALT-N to open the Script Explorer to set break points, etc.
However, even with the following simple code, when I press CTRL-ALT-N, the Script Explorer window is totally blank. According to all the articles I have found on the subject, it should have e.g. in my case "main.js" (I imagine it is like debugging in Firebug) but it is blank.
What else do I have to do to Visual Studio 2005 so that the Script Explorer shows my running javascript files?
