I’ve checked a number of programming forums and have not been able to come up with a solution/answer.

So here goes.

I am trying to debug applications in [VS2003.net](http://VS2003.net). Just getting started. I’m having a problem with javascript (.js files). I can set a breakpoint, but when I run the app a question mark appears in the breakpoint with the note ‘This breakpoint will not be currently hit, no symbols have been loaded for this document.

.asp/vbscript works ok.

What’s up? Is it not possible to debug the jscript?

GAAAAAA. Never mind. It’s a browser setting.

- Enable script debugging.
