well i'm not that long in javascript... but i guess most of the time scripts (like functions) are set in the <head> tag.
If you want a debugger, you can use the Firebug Add-On for firefox.

So you aren't able to use Firefox for just development? (just test it sometimes in IE too so you are sure it works both in FF and IE).
I don't IE has a good debugger for javascript itself.

yes ie does have, I tried it but I want a line by line kind of debuger and ie does not suport it if you have syntax eror for a function
it suports for runtime erors
so asking for any external debuger or ide so that I can put watch on variables and such

hey Ashish,
A script tag can either go in the head or the body section of a web page. Both have their uses, but they behave differently. When a script is put in the head section, it executes before the document is fully loaded. When it is in the body section, it executes when that portion of the page loads.
So note that when a script is put in the head without any kind of onload event, it shouldn't try to get or edit any element of the document, because the document doesn't exist yet and you'll get an error.
Hope it helps

Develop in Firefox and use the IE Tab plugin

Get the firebug addon for firefox. It allows you to traverse all the html css and script on a page. Also it comes with a javascript debugger that works fairly well. I use it all the time. Wonderful tool.

Pernally i would put it between the <head></head> tags because 1)I was thougt that way and 2) It executes before the page loads fully.

Hey Ashish,
So I heard that you couldn't use Firefox because you work at a company and you can't install it, right?
Well I have some great news. There is a portable version of Firefox, which means that you don't have to have Administrative rights to install it. You can find it and other portable applications at portableapps.com. Enjoy
