It's always a dangling comma. –Stephen Sep 29 '10 at 16:04 Add line 31 into your answer from the page itself. Doesn't sound as though its coming from an external file

as IE normally tells you it's a problem with an external file. –GenericTypeTea Sep 29 '10 at 16:05 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Try debugging it with IE8's Developer Tools (press F12). You should be able to step through the JS code (from all your scripts) to find out what is wrong with line 31 / char 5. share|improve this answer answered Sep 29 '10 at 16:06 Mike Atlas 6,36232752 add a comment| up vote 2 down vote You can download IETester which lets you use various versions of IE (6-8) and has built-in developer tools. They're not spectacular, but they're better than the nothing that old versions of IE provide. share|improve this answer edited Sep 30 '10 at 0:57 answered Sep 29 '10 at 16:09 Adam J.R. Erickson 90811021 1 His question is "How do I debug this?" My answer is a suggestion for a tool to use to debug it. I think it should be an answer, not a comment. –Adam J.R. Erickson Sep 29 '10 at 16:30 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote If it says it's on the page, then it means the page itself. If it was in an external file, it would indicate that the error occured in something.js. Open up your webpage, right click on the page and select "View Source". Go to line 31 and try and see what's wrong with it. share|improve this answer answered Sep 29 '

Please visit our latest F12 tools documentation. The Developer Tools feature of Windows Internet Explorer 8 offers a built-in, lightweight Microsoft JScript debugger that enables developers to set breakpoints and to step through client-side JScript code without leaving the browser. This document outlines the high-level features of the JScript debugger. To get acquainted with the other features of the Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools, refer to Discovering Internet Explorer Developer Tools; to get a complete reference of the Developer Tools interface commands, refer to Developer Tools User Interface Reference. Introduction Start Debugging Setting Breakpoints Controlling Execution Inspecting Variables Inspecting Call Stack Using Console to Execute Code Statements Using Console for Logging Alerts and Error Messages Remarks Related topics Introduction JScript debugging is a critical part of Web development. With the intuitive, lightweight JScript debugger, the Developer Tools feature brings one-click simplicity to the end-

and alert(); becomes your only friend, or so I thought. I've recently done quite a lot of javascript DOM work for a site including some AJAX stuff and whilst it was a pleasure to develop http://bealers.com/2007/01/12/debugging-javascript-in-ie7/ in Firefox using Firebug, I'm now getting "it doesn't work" errors with IE 7 and I need something more. A bit of Googling comes up with a couple of useful links here and here which looked like good advice, so I followed it thus: Fire up IE7 Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced: Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer) is ticked, untick it. Restart IE. Right click on the menu bar area and enable debug javascript the Menu bar (mine was hidden anyway) then go to View -> Script Debugger -> Open. If you don't get a pop-up asking you to choose a debugger (I didn't) then you need to install the Microsoft script editor which comes with MS Office (weirdly). Just to check, Windows-key and F should bring up a search, look for MSE7.exe if you don't have it (I didn't) put your office CD in and run how to debug setup. Under office tools -> HTML Tools -> Web scripting -> Web debugging, right click and select "Run from my computer". Restart IE. View -> Script Debugger -> Open should now give you your pop-up, yay! Now you can open your page in IE and make it break, when it does you shoudl get a "Do you want to debug" message. Yes we do so a press of 'Yes' gives us the same pop-up, selecting the Script editor allows us to do things other than just adding alerts() everywhere. For example we can pause the interpreter, step over each line, add watches and other normal debug things. In conjunction with the View DOM option in the IE 7 developers toolbar IE almost doesn't suck so much now. Using the debugger doesn't automatically fix your code, though.

I only tried the other debugger option once, it didn't look all that so I stopped using it.
