Common reasons for IE6 failing to parse jquery (which works great in IE8/Chrome/Safara/FF)

Question

I have a site driven by ~1000 lines of jquery/ui. Most content is dynamically generated from ajax requests. Everything works great in IE8/Chrome/Safari/FF 3.5

IE6/7 fails to parse JS code, giving all kinds of errors (which are really hard to trace to real code).

Jquery is supposed to support IE6, isn't it?

So,

1. What are the common causes for IE6/7 to fail (i.e. I missed some semicolons, addressing objects as arrays ...??)

2. Any good debugging tool - so I can at least see, where an error has occured?

Thanks a lot!
