Visual Studio Debuging of Javscript

I am sure we all aggree that the debuger in Visual Studio is a very powerfull tool.  Though I use very infrequently as I have been doing alot of Javascript front end coding recently and hadn't realised that it was possible to debug Javascript in the same way as a .net app.

Alerts and a little debug area on the application was the best option untill I read this artical Debugging DHTML Applications off http://www.alphafilter.com/.    The author explains how to attach to the browser process add breakpoints and view var values.

Great tool for the Wild Blue Yonder of Javascript;

A micro wiki that's getting chubby!

For some time now i have been looking for "notepad/jotter" style web site where a team of developers can log problems and solutions. 

Obviously a wiki was going to be the best solution.  I have seen and used many different wiki's but they were either php based or too cumbersum to use so I never actually got round to setting one up... until now...

TiddlyWiki is a javascript clientside wiki which has a great user interface and makes editing so quick.  But there's no means of saves the changed content back to the server.  I have modified the wiki to use a .net web services to save any changes made on the site seamlessly.

Here's Mine! - Check it out and don't worry about changing stuff it's a wiki!

If you want the source I'll zip it and stick a copy on the site.  Thought be warned it's running on a development box!
