Running a webapplication in an environment with IE 6 (please do not ment that...), I'm looking for a debugging tool for html/javascript in Eclipse Galileo. I'm not supposed to install any other software but I'm able to install a Eclipse Plugin.

Thank you for every hint. :)

PS. IE 6 drives me nuts. I usually use FF or Chrome but sometimes its not my decision.

Have you looked into the ATF plugin for eclipse? Includes a JS debugger that looks and works similarly to the Java debugger.

Alternatively, you could use the MS Script Editor. It' ain't pretty, but it's got all the basic debugging support you probably need. Here's a link that does a decent job of explaining basic use and setup: http://www.jonathanboutelle./how-to-debug-javascript-in-internet-explorer

My personal approach for using the MS debugger is to just insert a line into my code that says simply: x.x; This will fire the debugger at exactly the spot I need, then I just change the value of x in the watchlist to be equal to document, thus correcting the error I forced. I can then step through the lines of my code and debug as usual.
