View Script Documents (JavaScript)

Server-side script files are visible in Solution Explorer. Client-side script files are visible only when you are in debug mode or break mode. Client-side script files appear in the Script Documents node.

For some application types that dynamically generate pages, it is easier to enter break mode and debug when you set a breakpoint from a script document that is loaded in the browser. Similarly, you can add the debugger statement from a loaded script document to enter break mode. This article shows how to view these documents.

1. In Solution Explorer, open the <Website Pathname> node.

   The server-side script file opens in a source window.
