Microsoft Script Debugger

<p>Microsoft Script Debugger is relatively minimal <a href="/facts/Debugger/mCe6UsWj">debugger</a> for <a href="/facts/Windows_Script_Host/xJ0qFfo9">Windows Script Host</a>-supported scripting languages, such as <a href="/facts/VBScript/tg6VhSCk">VBScript</a> and <a href="/facts/JScript/HyuCUU2D">JScript</a>. Its user interface allows the user to set <a href="/facts/Breakpoint/LgtYUIlq">breakpoints</a> and/or <a href="/facts/Stepping_(debugging)/2BtbtxEN">step</a> through execution of script code line by line, and examine values of variables and properties after any step. In effect, it provides a way for developers to see script code behavior as it runs, thus eliminating much of the guess-work when things do not quite work as intended.
</p><p>Microsoft considers it to be deprecated. Also, <a href="/facts/Internet_Explorer_8/26Tuas4z">Internet Explorer 8</a> comes with a different, tightly integrated JScript debugger part of the <a href="/facts/Internet_Explorer_Developer_Tools/oy2W5hqt">Internet Explorer Developer Tools</a>.
