Install firebug and use the script tab. You can set breakpoints, step through code and more.

If you are not using FF, you can use firebuglite.

IE8 and above have similar built in dev tools easily accessible by pressing F12.

Chrome and Safari have such built in tools too, and so does the latest version of Opera.
