How to debug classic asp pages?

[mikezx10]

I have just started work with a classic asp site and have never worked on this b4. I have exper with asp.net. How do i debug in classic? The best i could figure is to create a divide by zero error with server side debugging set on my local vista compter and then start stepping from there.

Also how to debug java script?

This is my very simple minded approach

1) Enable ASP debugging

2) Enable debug messages on your browser

3) Start writing responses to figure out where you have got to before the crash and what the values of the internal variables are.

If all else fails, there are some commercial debuggers available for debugging server side scripts. The stuff I write is fairly simple so I've never used them.

If you have Visual Studio, have a look at
