I am successful at debugging JS when i run the app (F5), but if i try to
attach to process, no documents are in Script Explorer and hence i can't
debug JS. what can I do to do this?

Hi TS

I assume you are playing with VS 2005, because you debugged JS against
Script Explorer. Please let me know if I misunderstand the version of your
VS. Thanks.

Which process do you attach with in VS, w3wp.exe or iexplorer.exe?
If you want to debug the client side code, you have to attach process
("iexplorer.exe") rather than w3wp.exe/webdeb.webserver.exe . Otherwise,
Script Explorer cannot find realated code in client side and leave the
document blank.

Please attach process ("iexplorer.exe") to debug your js code and let me
know if you still meet any further issue. I'm glad to assist you.

Have a great day,
Sincerely,
Wen Yuan

iexplorer and script explorer is empty

Hi TS,
Thanks for your reply.

According to your description, you have attached the correct process in VS
2005. However, the Script Explorer still displayed as blank page.
Another possible reason for such issue is:

Have you unchecked "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and
"Disable Script Debugging (Other)" in your client IE?

Below is a document mentioned about how to debug client javascript in VS
2005.
http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/5918/
[Debugging client JavaScript in VS 2005]

In short, the step is as below:
a)    Uncheck "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable
Script Debugging (Other)" in your client IE.
b)    Close your client IE.
c)    Reopen IE and navigator to your website page which you want to debug
with.
d)    Start VS 2005 and open your website project.
e)    Attach the iexplorer.exe process which displayed your website page.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you still meet this issue after
following the steps I provided. Have a great day. Thanks
Best Regards,
Wen Yuan
