JavaScript Troubleshooting Tools in Internet Explorer

I use Firebug and the Mozilla JS console heavily, but every now and then I run into an IE-only JavaScript bug, which is really hard to locate (ex: error on line 724, when the source HTML only has 200 lines).

I would love to have a lightweight JS tool (a la firebug) for Internet Explorer, something I can install in seconds on a client's PC if I run into an error and then uninstall. Some Microsoft tools take some serious download and configuration time.

Any ideas?

Load you website, then press f12 to display the Developer tool.. any errors that have occurred will be listed in the Developer tool console. Display the Developer tool, selecting the Debug tab, select an option on the dropdown on that tab, 'Break on all exceptions' or 'Break on unhandled exceptions'.

To access IE Developer Tools, you launch Internet Explorer and press F12 on your keyboard or select “F12 Developer Tools” on the “Tools” menu. This opens the developer tools inside the browser tab.

You might find Firebug Lite useful for that.

Its bookmarklet should be especially useful when debugging on a user's machine.
