| JavaScript Scripts Inspector | Part of the Instant-On JavaScript Debugging feature is the JavaScript Scripts Inspector view. Using this view you can browse all of the JavaScript files the browser has loaded to run a JavaScript application. It works for both local and remote JavaScript applications and can be found in the Debug Perspective and the MyEclipse Web 2.0 Workbench�.
You may need to reset your Debug perspective in order to see the JavaScript Scripts Inspector. You can do so from the menu bar: Window > Reset Perspective. |

When the Break on 'debugger' keyword or Break on JavaScript exception actions are enabled the JavaScript debugger will halt when the 'debugger' keyword is encountered or when an error produces a JavaScript exception.
