IE8 comes with developer tools that allow you to debug JavaScript. How many times have you seen this:

When you need to debug JavaScript press F12 or select options –> Developer Tools. This will bring up the developer tools. Click the Script tab at the top and set breakpoints as needed.

The right hand pane has a locals view that will show you the values of your variables as you step through the JavaScript. Hit the start debugging button and reload the page in your browser. You can continue (F5) after hitting your breakpoint and checking out the values.

1. Update the fiddler options to disable IPV6.

2. Modify your local url by placing a dot (.) after local host (i.e. http://localhost.:5464/Default.aspx)

3. It works
