Your javascript is client side, so sorry no. Put some alerts in at key
points of your code and track your problem down that way.

It is possible to debug client-side JavaScript code. There are different
options:

1) In Firefox, use the Venkman JavaScript debugger at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/venkman/

2) In Visual Studio, if you start your web application using F5 (debug),
you can set breakpoints in your client-side code. Note that this works
best if the code is in JavaScript files.

3) In Visual Studio, you can use the menu Debug / Attach to attach the
debugger to Internet Explorer (choose the Script language). Then you can
debug any client side code available in any web site, as long as it runs
in Internet Explorer.

Your answer was correct a long time ago. Since then, the technology came
a long way and we now have Venkman and Visual Studio to debug
client-side code (amongst others).

See my other post in the same thread for details.
