debug IE6 JavaScript within Eclipse

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for an Eclipse plugin that will enable me to debug JavaScript running in IE6. Ideally, I'd like to be able to just attach the debugger to a running instance of IE6, but if I have to start IE6 from within Eclipse, I could live with that.

Thanks, Don

Answer 1

I think Apanta does some JS IE debugging, but i think you will need the pro version...

best of all it plugs into Eclpise

Answer 2

Why do you want to do it within Eclipse?

You could do it within IE, I haven't tried this, but it looks useful: http://www.debugbar.com/?langage=en

I used VS2005 for my IE6 debugging (painful).

Answer 3

I find CompanionJS to be very effective. Its Javascript console looks very much like Firebug.
