I use the (free) debugbar toolbar for Internet Explorer. It's not as full-featured as Firebug, but it does have a console and some other nice features. This is a list of features from their homepage (http://www.debugbar.com/ ):
* DOM Inspector: View DOM Tree and modify tags attributes and css attributes on the fly to test your page * HTTP Inspector: View HTTP/S request to check cookies, GET and POST parameters, view server info * Javascript Inspector and Javascript Console: View javascript functions for easier debugging, see Javascript and AJAX code * HTML Validator: Validate HTML code to correct and optimize your code and html size of your page * And many more features: See page cookies, get pixel color on a page, make a page screenshot...

As I stumble towards discovery of jQuery and all things Javascript, I frequently get knocked down by IE ;) It throws fatal errors far more often than Firefox (whose debugger I can understand) but IE's debug option invariably points to an 'error' in the jQuery core. I assume that's not the *real* error; just the point in the main script at which *my* script caused a fault. Please could someone point me towards a better debugger for ie? I should emphasise that I really am floundering in the dark here. Ideally, I need something dead simple. I can't even use Firebug properly! Any & all advice much appreciated, as ever :) Cherry.
